Overall, automotive journalists, new-car reviewers, are not shy about telling us when they think that something is crap. It's not like the world of watches, where if you give a product a negative review you won't get any more products to review. This applies to everything from an overall negative reaction to a car, to having some some little niggling dislike of the position of a cupholder, to thinking that the name of a car is silly. Car reviewers tend not to hold back.
However, for some reason, automotive journalists all over the world have been pulling muscles. That's how hard they've been bending over backwards to try to convince us that this
is a Mustang.
It reminds me of that meme that was popular a while ago: "Iz nice thnx but iz not mah buckit." I'm sure it's a perfectly wonderful SUV. But please stop calling it a Mustang. I think what Ford should do is just call it the Mach-E. Drop the "Mustang" part out of the name. Then when they FINALLY get around to making an electric coupe, they can call THAT the electric Mustang, and we can all just move on and forget about that embarrassing short episode when Ford called the Mach-E the "Mustang Mach-E." Except for historians of automotive weird facts. I'm not even a Mustang fan or a muscle car fan, my dream car is a Chevy Bolt (EV not EUV), and even I can see as plain as day that calling THIS a Mustang is pure Bizzaro-World.
In conclusion: stop calling it a Mustang.
Sincerely yours,
stop calling it a Mustang. #stopcallingitamustang
