For those that say the Mach e isn’t a Mustang because it’s a SUV…

A two-door wagon? That seems kind of impractical.

It’s not a coupe. It’s not a wagon. Cagon? Woupe?

Odd.

I'll drop this here: Family

Good find! But family isn’t series.

And part of the reason the family even exists? It has different members.

One is a Bronco.
The other is a Bronco sport.

One is a Mustang
The other is a Mustang Mach E.

Sure, it’s a member of the family. Every family needs a black sheep.

My brother and I may share a last name, but we are very different people. ?

Again, you are arguing with yourself.

Only if you think a green bean is a bean because it has “bean” in the name.

Oh lord, people still give a crap about this?

Beans are part of the Fabaceae family, also known as the legume family. The Fabaceae family is the third largest family of flowering plants, with over 20,000 species. Legumes are unique nutritionally and are sometimes considered their own food group. They are an inexpensive source of protein, vitamins, complex carbohydrates, and fiber.

Exactly.

Not a bean, even though it has “bean” in the name.

I don't say it isn't a Mustang because it's an SUV, I say it isn't because it isn't. Also it's not really a SUV either.

Weird. Mine has Mustang Badges all over it. The sticker at the dealer even had Mustang MachE on it. Not to mention Ford called it a Mustang Mach E. I wonder what happened to yours to not be a Mustang? I mean mine isn’t an ICE Mustang for sure, but I’m pretty sure it’s Mustang unless my eyes, insurance and everything else deceive me. Maybe you can help me out here did yours not come with all of those features and badges, if not it may be worth a lot being a rarity. Or did you get a different car altogether?

Because I’ve only owned ICE Mustang I made the mistake on TikTok one time saying this is the quickest car a.k.a. Mustang I’ve ever keyword quickest I didn’t say fastest. You know for sure. Everybody jumped on that saying so all the cars you’ve ever owned is only gone 101 miles an hour? And I said did I say fast I said quickest I’ve only got to 101 five seconds. I don’t know how fast the car goes. ?

I always tell people similarly. It’s quick not fast lol.

I started a big argument, one time with a bunch of hot rodders. I told the only car that could touch my car off. The line might be another electric car, especially the electric Corvette.

Haha, nope I bought a Mach-e GTPE it even has a pony on it. But it really doesn't matter what anyone calls it because I bought it for the wife. She likes it and that's all that matters. In the age of self identification I think I'll continue calling it the monkey.

 

[Mach1E]

Lol. Read closer...

I don’t understand what you’re getting at.

My point was that just because it has “Mustang” in the name, doesn’t make it a Mustang.

Just like how green beans aren’t beans. And you seem to understand the point about beans.

 

[Mach1E]

Somehow "green" did not copy, in my rush I missed it. So to restate...

"Green beans, also known as Phaseolus vulgaris, belong to the Fabaceae family, also known as the legume, pea, or bean family. This family includes plants like lentils, chickpeas, peas, and peanuts. The taxonomic hierarchy of the common bean is:
Order: Fabales
Family: Fabaceae
Genus: Phaseolus
Species: Phaseolus vulgaris"

i.e. green beans are beans.

Lordy.

Oh. Apparently you don’t get it.

Green beans aren’t beans.

https://randallbeans.com/2017/02/21/whats-the-difference-between-beans-and-legumes/

This is logic 101.

Like how every poodle is a dog but not every dog is a poodle.

“
In other words: all beans are legumes, but legumes aren’t necessarily beans.
That should explain why green beans aren’t actually beans. Because the fruit of the green bean plant is in a pod, green beans are actually just legumes, not beans.”

And yeah, this is applicable to the Mustang “family” as well.

Mach E and ICE Mustang may be a part of the Mustang family, but only one of them is a Mustang.

 

[Mach1E]

Green beans are, actually... beans. I've shown you this three times now. In post 47 you said "Green beans are not beans, they are legumes".

Yet, Legumes are beans.

Nope they aren’t. Read the post above.

Or you can read the USDA government site if you need further confirmation.

https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Why-...-not-in-the-Beans-and-Peas-Vegetable-Subgroup

Some legumes are beans. Not all legumes are beans.

Either way, it’s not about the bean. The point was that having a particular name doesn’t make you that thing.

We could pick a bunch of other analogies if you prefer.

You drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

White chocolate isn’t chocolate.

Hamburgers aren’t made out of ham.

Im sure we could think of more.

SUV? Back in the day that would be a Station Wagon, and the kids would fight to ride in the back of the back...


/Oh, and there was an 'experimental' version of the Vette with the same 'dressing'

This prototype of a Mustang wagon was built in 1966 and Ford considered brining it to market, but decided the extra cost involved in making it would increase the sticker price too much.

It actually handled better than the regular Mustang because of the extra weight in the rear and an improved suspension to carry that weight.

So we can say Ford had ideas of a SUV-ish Mustang since early on in the first generation of the pony, it just took them 55 years to actually make it! I think it even pre-dated the Mach 1, Boss, and Shelby Mustangs.

That's a good looking car for 1966.
