Isn't that the European one wrapped in a cool blue? Nice!

Whoops, I guess not! Might have to look into a wrap someday. I like IB but I like brighter blues even more (says the guy who owns a 2017 Grabber Blue Mustang).

Nope. The European wrapped car was a GT used for the launch in London. This was wrapped by the US dealer.

I wouldn’t want some creepy dude pulling up next to me recording my car. Also, what if my wife was driving without me....very creepy.
It's gonna happen!

This seems like a way for the dealerships to add some profit without ADM. If they can sell pre-wrapped, make some extra $ without all of just jumping on their case shouting "Evil ADM!!!"

I disagree. I am buying an FE with a value of $60,000. I am buying it because of the car and the Ford incentives. VERY few people look at the tax credit as it is
1. not guaranteed
2. does not impact the monthly car payment.

In short the tax credit assuming you get to use it is just cash after the fact. When people buy a car, tax credit or no credit, they are buying it based on the monthly price. Can I afford this or not??? I do not know of a single person who calculates the POSSIBLE tax consequences. Yes I am self employed so like others we look at the impact of how much can we write off etc., but the tax credit is not even computed until likely October. Most self employed people file in October rather than on April 15. As such it is silly to even calculate what the tax might be.
You, sir, are daft.

The proper question is whether the mach-e identifies as a GT. :p
I think they all dream to be GTs after the screens shut down for the night. ?
