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

Shooting brake! Which century are you from?

I’m 62 and I can’t remember estate cars what they become or any cars being called shooting brakes.

Only usually in my early life did old farts in UK trying to appear older and more knowledgeable pretentiously use the term shooting brake?

Shooting break/latterly brake apparently dates from the 19th cejture1890s as horse-drawn carriages.

First automotive shooting brakes were manufactured in the early 1900s in the United Kingdom.

That vehicle style became popular in England during the 1920s and 1930s, and was produced by vehicle manufacturers or as conversions by coachbuilders.

The term was used in Britain interchangeably with estate car from the 1930s but has not been in general use for many years and has been more or less superseded by the term estate car.

……….apparently………..

You'd know better than me, but I still see the term used all the time...

So if I try to tell everyone my son is a cat, that makes him a cat? ?‍

FWIW, even Ford knew that thing you linked isn’t a real Mustang, that’s why they called it the “Mustang II.”

And when that horrible piece of junk went away, they went back to the “Mustang.”

We don’t drive a Mustang.

We drive a “Mustang Mach E.”

And just like the “Mustang II”, it is something different altogether.

My favorite car ever! I work in a dealer that sells very high end cars......Ferrari, McLaren, Lambo and Aston to name a few. Having random conversations with clients, I often get asked if I won the lottery, what we be the first car that I buy, and I always have the same answer that leaves every bewildered:

A 1969 Mustang 429 Boss is my answer with zero hesitation. About 15 years ago, I found one for sale locally (was a coupe; not a fastback, but I was able to afford it). The guy had it parked on main street for sale with his phone number written on the windows. I called the guy and told him I wanted it and was going to the bank to pull out the cash and he sent me his address, By the time I got there, I got there just in time to see someone else who beat me to it getting the titled signed over to him. To this day, it was one of the saddest days in my life.

I don’t consider a SUV either for the reasons stated above. But again, Ford built it, so it is what they call it. SUV and CUV are not well defined anyway. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous I have to register my vehicle as an suv/truck in Missouri.

ICBC registered mine as Model: Mustg, Body Style: 4 Door Stationwagon. I'd prefer SUV to Stationwagon but they informed me their body style assignment for Mach-E's is correct. Last year and again this year I had to fight with Uber for 2-4 weeks to get the registration (re)approved as they don't allow Mustangs (which are 2 door). Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder what the situation is for Uber drivers with Tesla Model Y's???

I dont think it will ever become a "Rustang" the aluminum doors and advancements since the 80s should help. And the car is WAAAYYY too good looking to be a "Disgustang"
