I would’ve been first in line to buy THAT Mustang versus a radical anti Mach-E zealot they’ve made out of me. I’ve owned two Mustangs in my life, they’re near and dear to me and everything about this latest grotesque shitbox repulses me. It’s disrespectful

Well a mustang and a corvette are two different vehicles.

duh

And now we find out that Chrysler is making an electric muscle car. Someone better collect those Ford lover tears.

A true ev mustang will be here soon enough. They needed to make a mass market ev so they could recoup the costs of R&D. Coming out with a 2 door muscle ev first would not have made financial sense for Ford.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Should’ve just made it a Lincoln. Lincoln needs this type of product!

How many fights do you think broke out at the corporate office when they came up with this?

@@beegeezee505 Not enough apparently cause it still happened 🤣

I love how all of you pretend like Ford hasn’t been phasing out making cars for the past 5 years. Lincoln is all SUVs. The Fusion isn’t even listed in their “Car” category so the Mustang is all by itself. Fords future is SUVs, trucks, and electric. They’re making it quite clear there is no room for anything else. The Mustang as a car is already a bygone era.

Normally he sounds engaged, but this time, what he's saying feels forced. It sounds like someone's got a .44 magnum up to his head while he's speaking.

ROMAN is a RENT BOY.

The Mach-E Eulogy

Comment of the day.

Roman sounds like Arthur from the Tick

I think the Mustang II is the one in the leather jacket. This one has a beanie, unbuttoned shirt, skateboard over its shoulder and "how do you do fellow millennials?" T shirt. Seems to have worked on Roman and Mr. R though... Bizarrely

@@existinginaspace8347 I dunno man. It's complicated

@@existinginaspace8347 well played

I don't know. Both are just as bad.

Bingo. Now, I'm not a muscle car guy, but I think an electric RWD Mustang would be sick. Instant torque to light up the rear wheels? Yes please.

ACCURATE. Thank you!

Agree completely, that's where I stand with this car. Would love if they had just taken the S550 and gave it an EV powertrain. He is right that names that last forever will not be the same as they were when they were new. And an electric coupe would have been an evolution to the Mustang. What we got instead was an abomination.

Right on dude

I feel the name has come from upper management. They were furious that the engineers made a really good electric car, so had to give it a name nobody could possibly like. Then they could blame any backlash on it being electric, rather than it being an SUV with a Mustang badge.

Me: (coughs in Camaro)

That prbly hurt some Ford boys s

@@someguy9520 Some?

My modded Civic SI pulls harder than base model mustangs. Oh how muscle cars have fallen.

@@Jerorawr_XD a modded car can go faster than the base model of another car stock?!?! I never could have guessed

They also could have called it the Model E and come up with the tagline that it's a trendsetter for an entirely new class of automobile just like the model t

They should have called it the Probe. The original Probe was meant to be a replacement for the Mustang, but unlike now, Ford had the sense to read the room and make the SN95.

Probe. Sounds futuristic. Galaxie/galax-e. brings back an old name, attracts attention. Thunderbird. Iconic name with less history.

thunderbird also has some electicy bits to it

@@kirintheprotogen8659 That's a good point. And the Thunderbird's already been everything from a sports car to a wagon, so turning it into this wouldn't be anything controversial.

That was a very appropriate quote Alexander Hamilton.

The guy doesn’t know enough about cars to change his own oil. You shouldn’t be shocked at his inconsistent and ill-informed opinions.

@@CasperInkyMagoo then why are you here?

Yeah but difference is, the new Supra is in reality, just a rebadged BMW and feels like it when you get in it. Whereas the Mach E is a Ford product through and through. The new Supra has no identity of itself when a German manufacturer makes the car and Toyota just slaps their brand onto it.

@@anthonyreynolds2365 If Toyota made a new in house 4Runner but called it a Supra, would it still be a Supra (TM) to you?

@@ussliberty109 A better comparison would be calling a hi performance electric RAV4 a Supra because like the Mach-E, it's also built on a car platform, making it handle and act somewhat similarly to a car. Especially when you factor the low center of gravity a full "skateboard" EV like the Mach-E has. But even a 4Runner is preferable because at least it would be a Toyota through and through. Not some badge engineered BMW souless garbage. Cars need an identity to their own automaker. No one goes to Toyota to buy a BMW. I'll just go to BMW to get a BMW if I want it.

2024 Challenger is a Tuktuk powered by wood gas.

2030 Corvette is an electric anti-gravity pod with a pedal dynamo to charge the battery.

Verily, the end of days is upon us.

The Bronco 2 was always like that though, they just dropped the 2

@@karasene2091 the Bronco Sport was always a thing in the 80s. Small 4 cylinder competing with the S10 blazer

@@karasene2091 The Bronco II was a body on frame, truck based compact SUV with live axles front and back, and an actual transfer case. The modern Bronco is a unibody car with some mild off-road options available. It's more Rav 4 than Cherokee. The II was very off road capable. Problem was, it was built using swiss-cheese grade everything and it fell apart. When's the last time you saw a survivor Bronco II? I don't even see them in pull-a-part yards anymore because there aren't enough nice ones left to justify the real estate in the scrap yards. I welcome electric cars as long as I can buy them used, fix them myself, and save money over buying new like I've been doing since I was 16.

Just like the eclipse

I would like this comment but it has 69 likes, so I can't destroy that beauty

It's actually quite ugly. Very disappointing.

It’s way faster than 99% of them tho

@@cartilagehead6326 The performance is not the problem; it’s the image. If Ford branded this thing as the ‘Escape ST’ or something, it would have the image of a peppy little crossover for soccer moms or other people who otherwise have no interest in cars. Fine. Whatever. But by calling it a mustang, Ford is trying to convince you that it’s something that it is not. For the last 50 years, Ford has marketed the mustang toward a younger audience as a fun, budget-friendly performance vehicle, with practicality being a secondary or tertiary concern. The byproduct of both this marketing and the actual demographic of people who drive mustangs is an association with young, usually irresponsible hoodlums who are likely to get your daughter knocked up and try to skip town…Or by middle aged guys trying to recapture their youth - but I doubt that’s the image Ford is trying to convey. Now, all of a sudden, this ‘mustang’ is being marketed as an eco-conscious, practical crossover that happens to have a respectable 0-60 time. So when you see this ‘mustang’ pull up to your house, instead of worrying about your daughter getting in a family way with the local self-branded rebel, you’ll think “I hope those kids have a nice time at Applebee’s.” It’s incongruous with everything Ford has been trying to convince consumers the mustang represents and to me feels incredibly disingenuous. Like someone in the consumer research department said “We have an untapped market in the enviro-vegan-commie-techy-millennial market. How can we squeeze some money out of those naive little saps?”

@@PrintsCharming13 “the performance is not the problem, it’s the image” is the most Mustang thing anybody has ever said.

At least the Dart wasn’t a staple nameplate.

As a Honda guy. This is why I don’t want the S2000 to be remade.

Philly D burner account??

lol

As someone who likes very small cars, I'm definitely not going to disagree on the idea of crossovers being some kind of cancer. Selfish, Unsightly, and Vain. ;) I do, however, get a little annoyed with the "not a real Mustang" thing - people said the same thing about the Mustang II back in the day, despite the contemporary "the Mustang II was not as bad as people say it was" phenomenon. In either case, it's a Mustang because Ford says it is. That doesn't make it "not a Mustang," it makes it "a Mustang I don't like." Which is fine. I don't care for Mustang IIs or post-1994 Mustangs.

Exactly... crossovers are dumb. I'd rather have a sports car, or a minivan. Not some drunken love child in-between wishing he could die.

@@tinystar3010 you are what you drive

I think they think we are dinosaurs who "won't change with the times" even though we are actualy a market they won't tap.

hahahahahah

Reminds me of the Porsche Cayenne, just a grossly stretched out car

They work well as a family hauler.

thats not even funny at this point anymore. they all share the same ugly shape or design in their basis. its like a pest, but on the streets.

Nail firmly hit on the head.👍✌

It’s absolutely ugly. It looks like a fat Mazda with pony badges.

It's not entirely hypocritical as it does neither. :P

@@HellsJerome87 If you're into high maintenance costs, feel free to buy VAG. :P

Dude you just hit the nail on it's head.

They could have called it a Taurus SHO or something within that general area.

Indeed

Exactly

Careful, these guys reallllllly like it. And it's DEFINITELY a mustang because Ford says so.

pretty sure the Mustang II is slower.

@@GiordanDiodato the bars on the floor

same lol

lol

Hahaha!!!

I look forward to the website plugs more than I do the actual reviews

Caught me off guard for sure

Jesus you’re right. There was so many other names they could’ve revived like that but they chose to massacre the Mustang. Edit: their slogan could’ve been something like “bringing the best of the past, to the future.”

My thoughts exactly.

Sir Ford wants you to apply they just don't know it yet

Nah I think they are going to produce that. Their first low sleek BEV.

Probe

Why do you even care ma dude?,if you don't like it then don't buy it.anyway crossovers are taking over

@@errbody2847 because it use the mustang name. A mustang must be a sports coupe, and not some electric crossover.

Not going to buy it, for sho. I won't be buying an electric or crossover and will drive my gas cars til their outlawed and I'm arrested and thrown in jail.

@@anselladarrent So? Maybe the mach e can be something good for the company.

@@errbody2847 yes it's something good for company, but not for mustang fan and a lot of car guy. Because ford use the mustang name just for the marketing. Remove all the little details and the mach-e become ordinary electric crossover.

Yeah, definitely a bad take.

Roman has always come off as a follower so I’m not surprised. I mean he’s RCR’s Robin.

I'm dying ahahahah

To be fair soccer moms already had mustangs. The v6 convertibles practically sold themselves

My brothers wife just test drove one and said it would be so cool for him to have a wife who drives a mustang

We don't need a mustang full of kids wrapping around a light poll... Karen can't handle the oversteer

"Karen Mustang"

Mach-E is the Netflix adaptation.

The halloween 2018 of automobiles.

“We have Mustang at home” Mustang at home:

Hi tom

Mr Cruise. Can we talk about the new Top Gun? Some fans think it's an insult to a heritage.

Mustang Mach E is just the vehicle equivalent of a modern "Assassins Creed" game. If you stripped Assassins Creed from the title, you'd never know they were one.

Alternatively, they could have called it the ford E-scape.

I knew this was going to be a Survive reference before I even finished reading. I played the shit out of that game, and until then the only other Metal Gear I'd played was V (I put almost 900 hours into it, though). Shit, does this mean I would sorta "grudge enjoy" this car like I did MG Survive? Yikes...

Agreed

The Mustang badge helps Ford sell it as fast instead of "Green." It's an SUV Crossover because that's what Americans are buying. If the problem is the name, we're to blame. Coupes are dead and we killed them. Either the Mach-E is a Mustang, or the pony is going to the glue factory.

hahah

Oh I member

I mean in all honesty they are just the SJWs of the car world.

@@GTRGOD1000 RCR? Yeah kinda.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I would so have driven an electric mustang, sure i would have liked the gas guzzler sound, but this BMW 1 for grannies just ain't it.

Exactly. They could have put an electric drivetrain into the S550 body and I bet nobody would have complained.

Reminds me of a taller BMW Z3 M

Yes you are correct. That is the reason. Not sure why anything else is being suggested here.

I very much dislike the electric motor itself. But it’s not as bad as what they did here. It’s an electric Ford Edge cosplaying as a mustang. Regardless of what mustang means, this ain’t it.

The issue is that it’s called Mustang is really the only issue. Mach E would’ve been perfect.

They should have reused the Taurus name.

@@twoeightythreez exactly

Thank god is isnt a SUV. It's a CUV :D

Exactly. Why does everything new need to be veiled as something old. Make a new strong nameplate like mach E, yes still a throwback, but a new take. But when you close your eyes and say mustang. A 5 door SUV isn't what you see.

You're totally right. RCR is really great at completely missing the point. The Mustang was always about being different and unique and its own thing. The Mach-E is just an Escape EV and the name is just plain disrespectful to people who grew up with Mustangs and loved them.

@@chrisrandom1404 Nah guy

A Mustang is not what you define it to be, it's what Ford defines it to be. They are the owners. And your criteria is completely arbitrary. "I'm a little disappointed that the Mustang community allowed this monstrosity to happen"? What the hell are they supposed to do? Raid the Ford headquarters? That sentence has a concerning violent undertone. You just don't get to decide what a Mustang is supposed to be. Mustangs are always supposed to be what gives Ford money. Lee Iacocca has been dead for 2 years now, and they had moved on, as should you. Ford has every right to redefine whatever they want even it had been a certain way for 4000 years. Again, they own the logo. And things are constantly being redefined in the modern world, you should be used to it by now. The Mach-E is definitely not supposed to be the same thing as the Mustang. No one is pretending here. Just because it has the name Mustang you think it's supposed to be the same thing? It's supposed to be a mainly fast and "cool" electric SUV. They used the name Mustang for marketing sake, like you know, every car name ever. You were just fooling yourself by being "loyal" to a brand. They never gave a single shit about you. They just satisfy you when it's convenient for them. It's like it's a big reveal or something. It shouldn't be. Let that be a lesson for you to see corporations for what they always have been. And finally, be as criterious as you want about who can get into you little club, it's your right, but just get over yourself, man. You're like a 10 year old boy nailing a big wooden sign in front of a treehouse saying "NO GIRLS ALLOWED". It's not like they're missing the chance of a lifetime, they most likely don't even care. It's really not that big of a deal.

@@HeortirtheWoodwarden I have to disagree. There are multiple things wrong with your argument. 1) Yes a vehicle is not what we define for it to be. BUT Ford has spent over 50 years defining what the Mustang as a sport coupe/ convertable. It's really hard to change that criteria now. Especially with a die hard fan base. 2) While things change in the modern world many things stay the same. A car is a car, a truck is a truck, etc. It's like growing an apple and calling it an orange. Sure things change and you own the product. But an apple is still an apple. They're both round and fruit but not the same. Which leads to number 3. 3) They are pretending that they are the same thing. They even advertise it as being a horse from the same stable. They even said they were aiming to sell to enthusiats. They claim the Mach E comes from 50+ years of heritage. They are allegedly one and the same. Ford was banking on using the Mustang name to sell the Mach E. Instead it has alienated potential buyers. Consumers can't decide what a product is named but they do decide if it succeeds or fails. Year to date sales of the Mach E are DOWN compared to the Mustang. (According to Ford themselves.) If buyers are not buying them then there is a problem with the product. I doubt it's the electric part as Tesla has no problem selling cars. My guess is the name and backlash it has received. No other manufacturer calls an SUV after their iconic sports car. There's no 911 SUV (that's Cayenne), there's no Diablo SUV (that's Urus), etc. You see the the trend? Ford did make a mistake naming this after their iconic sports car. Not so much because they called it a Mustang but because THEY defined what a Mustang was for over 50 years. And THAT success is what hurts the Mach E.

@@HeortirtheWoodwarden Imma make this quick....Unlike keyboard warriors like you I have a life. Anyways. Ok. You know what man? You're right. You are completely right that ford has the right to do what they like with the mustang name. Just like I wrote in my original comment, I am probably just another over opinionated whacko, never asked anybody to listen to me. You read my comment and got offended. That's on you buddy. HOWEVER. Let me make this point so even a simpleton like you can understand. I work for a corporation, a very big one. Not saying which, but I'm paid pretty handsomely and have good benefits. So, I can't complain. But I understand how corporate structure works. And how it likes to shit on everybody and every single day I work I see how cruel and unforgiving the world is through the corporation's bullshit procedures. I see first hand how people are stupid and will believe whatever bullshit is thrown at them, whether we are talking about cars, or products, or brands, or social media posts. I understand that Ford is this exact same depressing way. They have a bunch of suits in offices controlling the business aspect with no humanity at all. Of course this is all for money. I'm not stupid. Financially this is the best move Ford could have ever done. What if, and it's a big "what if". For once maybe the hope of knowing that a company will do what is right instead of what will make the quickest buck. Maybe people get pissed off when they see a fucking SUV when they see their passion get destroyed. Maybe it's saying the era of real car designers are gone and replaced by a bunch of idiots in suits? The point I was making, which completely went past your head, was exactly what you proved. They did it for money. Are they allowed to? Yes, absolutely. Does that make it right? No. I don't wear brand name shit because I refuse to waste my money on bullshit. In the exact same way I will not spend money on this new "brand" of mustang. The people who buy it only do because they want the brand of being a mustang. Ford makes the mustang, but the owners made the name mustang mean something man. If it wasn't for the people buying mustangs in the first place they wouldn't have as big of a fan base to sell too. It's ecactly like sports. I'm not answering back to this anymore because I have more important things to do than start a keyboard warrior. I said what I had to say, and my opinion hasn't changed what so ever. You aren't a real enthusiast, so quite honestly I could give a fuck what your ass has to say. I don't need your faggot ass to tell me how company's are evil because beleive me I've seen first hand a company destroy people's lives, cause people to divorce, to losing custody of their kids to being suicidal. So don't give me that bullshit guy. It's more you that needs to get over yourself buddy. Heres some friendly advice. Find yourself a nice looking girl get your dick sucked and maybe you'll be a less of a miserable fuck. 👌👌👌

Thank you for breaking it down

And they hated the BMW mk5 Supra. So why not this?

THIS. This is the perfect point. I don’t have a problem with the car, I have a problem with the name.

Exactly. When I hear mustang i think sleek, sexy, 2 door sports car, occasionally convertible. Something you buy to stand out in. This looks like a bottom of the barrel, family car tesla wannabe. People buy mustangs because they dont want to be seen in something as bland as a tesla. Also, i was upset with the eclipse name as well. I was a huge mistubishi fan, but after the eclipse thing and the Evolution getting discontinued, ive never looked at mitsubishi as a company since. Names do carry a heavy weight with them. If someone tells you they're gonna give you candy, but hands you broccoli, wouldn't your expectations and excitement plummet? Same thing here.

True

Nah the new Supra is a BMW not just BMW parts. This Mustang Mach-E is still a Ford.

@@pianofry1138 Fair enough, but at least the basic concept (2+2 seater coupe with a straight-six and RWD) wasn't changed, so my point still stands.

@@Crysisfan96 was it though? Toyota had plenty 2+2 seater coupes with a straight-six and RWD among the years, a lot of them didn't wear the Supra moniker though. J29 is less of a Supra than most of it predecessors, and I don't think that the BMW involvement is the biggest factor.

@@pianofry1138 Every part was recast by toyota, the whole project almost got cancelled on us because of all the revisions toyota wanted to make

@@THESLlCK The only thing the Engineers at Toyota had a problem with was the engine not being built to the standards of Toyota. Which they should've known the Germans haven't built a good engine that won't grenade itself in almost 40 years.

I'd be more interested if it was just a straight up electric Mustang.

@@dexterhochstetler3727 And the name would've made sense, but no that's too logical thinking. "Lets muddy the Mustang brand" some Ferd employees probably.

It's as much a Mustang as the 1979 Nova vs the 1981. lol

It's a Mustang lol.

Ford called it a mustang, it's not up to you 😂

It's also NOT an Escape. Very far from it. Closest would be new "Puma" ST. Needs to be agile.

The only Mustang styling it has is the taillights and badges, in person it just looks like an obese Focus, it’s less of a Mustang than the Mustang 2

There is literally nothing about this car that would not be improved by building it to an altitude closer to a Mustang. Make it lower, drop some excess weight, and improve handling at the same time. It's like Ford made the Mach-E bloated for the sake of being bloated. I don't even mind the name. What bugs me is that Ford actively decided to make the vehicle worse just to call it a crossover and synthetically improve its marketing appeal.

lol

@@wescoleman6390 I wish they made an electric trim level "mach-e" of the regular mustang coupe and kept this a rejected focus crossover

@@mezzb My parents didn't like low cars, like they dislike Honda Fit because it is too low for them, despite I convienced them that the interior is as large as my current Suzuki SX-4 crossover.

@@wescoleman6390 it's only 5.8" of the ground. It's just got a high roof and five doors. Not the first 'stang with a hatch on the rear, though.

that's the same thing matt farah said recently actually. kinda agree. but i guess that'd be less interesting than beating on mustang owners/fanboys.

This is the take I'm here for. The Roman wants to use the No True Scotsman argument, but he is himself using a Strawman argument. "You guys are just mad it's electric." No, we're mad that it's electric, and a cross over. Give me a Mustang coupe with electric motors that can tear my face off. Give me a Mustang Sedan with a V8 that can fight Chevy SS and Dodge Challengers. Give me a Mustang Crossover with that same V8 and it'll be palatable if it's fast. But this is a bridge too far, it's too many changes at one time to be accepted by the car enthusiast Ford loves to spit on.

@@Petrospect There will always be a place for giving Mustang guys a hard time, but since even Mustang guys don't want to associate with this "thing", it doesn't really work from a joke perspective.

@@Dan_Danger_Brown The take also doesn't work because this video exists on the same chanel that insists that the new Toyota Supra isn't a Supra. Even if it was made with BMW, the new Supra is much closer in spirit to the previous Supra than this dissapointment of a Mustang is. If the new Supra is like getting brisket when you wanted tacos, the new Mach E is like shoving fermented fish into someone's mouth when they wanted a donut.

@@armchairmaster I would be very disappointed with lutefisk even if I did order it.

Well, Regular and Roman both called it "nimble" in this video. I wonder how their and my definition of nimble align. Poorly?

… but has the Mustang always been a sports car? I’d argue some models have been and some have not.

Shoulda just given the Mustang GT the SLS Electric Drive treatment: make it still a drivers car, but just, electric

Ford did make an electric Cobra Jet prototype. Granted, it was just a one-off, but it might be a sign of things to come.

You're right in pointing out the short term benifits. Ford knows that nobody would give a shit about their first EV and so to make some noise, they named it after the Mustang. Regarding an EV of the regular 2 door coupe Mustang, I'm sure it's in the works.

Exactly, it was an easy (and shitty) way to attach hype to an average electric SUV.

I agree completely, but getting good range out of a small car is really difficult. Less space to shove giant-ass battery packs.

Yeah, review more 20 year old hoopties!

Thank you for summing up how I feel about this one. Entire thing, especially Roman's part felt like one of those promotional films from the 60's

It seems like Mr regular doesn't pay his employees enough lol I would have hoped his number 2 guy would drive something less shit

keep him out of the narration. his voice emits estrogen.

Seriously, I usually skip the Roman-narrated videos. Dude puts me to sleep.

But it's SUV-crossover, and you like that, right, right fellow kids? They actually made Ford Station Wagon and Four-door versions of Mustang back in the sixties as a concepts, I shit you not.

man a real mustang wagon or shooting brake would actually be hella cool, but theyll never make one.

They made a Mercury Cougar wagon in the 70s, and the Cougar at one time was the Mustang's twin brother.

fairmont wagon. modified fox chassis. THAT is a mustang station wagon.

I don't think they were allowed to use Model E because someone else owns that moniker

@@nomoreheroes93 you mean Teala? The Model 3 was supposed to be "Model E" as that would've made Tesla's lineup "SEXY" as Elon wanted. Ford stopped Tesla from trademarking "E" You may be right, Ford might have lost the rights to "Model"

@@nomoreheroes93 ford owns the model e moniker

I'm guessing neither Ford nor Tesla could use "Model E" - Tesla has the "Model" bit and Ford the "E" part. Both this and the Model 3 probably would have been "Model E" had their respective makers had their way.

Also they may as well go all in on it basically being a Tesla with extra padding.

Its fucking embarassing

Right. I mean the outrage is a bit much at times but most people hit it right on the head when they are asking 'WHY call it a mustang' as opposed to saying 'this isn't a mustang'.

I’m gonna de-badge every Mach E I see.

Wow, you smashed the hell out of that nail head.

lmfao

It's a BMW Z4 with a lot of fake vents.

@@mikecronis just like this is an electric Ford escape with mustang badges

Ding ding ding. "I was scared of being stared at by a family of four in the country because of my sexuality." Same guy that said, "Just because you don't like the glove doesn't mean you can't shake the hand of the man who's wearing it."

I mean, yeah, that’s the car market. If companies wanted to make serious small trucks they’d design a truck from the ground up instead of taking their crossover and hacking the back off. I understand they have to make money but a ton of products are really half assed lol, inb4 some ridgeline defender comes to tell me that most people don’t use their trucks anyway and the like

Most of the interior feels like that. Dial shifters are unbelievably stupid and make no sense, the dash is a flat panel with an undersized screen, the console and mid dash area are just barren, and why the fuck are we still doing interiors in grey and black when dodge just brought back some incredibly beautiful red accents in the Rebels? Im over here with a 1999 Ram 1500 and im calling this interior garbage

And the cars that do this can barely be kept from the customers hands, so the state of the market demand is really the reason why we are staring at these ashes of civilization.

They're trying so hard to become Tesla...

A friend of mine leased a Subaru with a giant tablet in the dash. He had to take the thing in to have that tablet REPLACED three times in two years.

Great point, I didn't think of that.

It doesn't matter if it's a V6 or an automatic when it's the only car you have. V8's are everything. If you want to bitch about V6's go over to Drew Peacocks channel.

Now that i think about, in terms of people vs cars, roman is to the mustang mach-e as mr regular is to any other true mustang. I kind of unintentionally zone out when Romans bits happen...

@@Zanelander why not just buy another car at that point, this is PA after all there are a ton of used cars there Besides, an auto v6 mustang is pointless. It is slow, with bad build quality, average reliability, bad gas mileage and it isn't even that cheap because it is called a "Mustang". Since he talks about "" "" "" handling""" "" "" so much, why not buy a miata at that point? Hell most cars on the road can out handle a New Edge Mustang

That’s a great point. I’ve always been baffled as to how someone so into cars drives such a dogass car like Roman does.

Yeah, for real, it's electric, fine, nobody's mad about, it's the whole fucking SUV aspect.

They called it a Mustang. Ford, at the end of the day, decides what a Mustang is/isn't. I don't like it either.

@@MrSlowestD16 yeah. If Ford took there modern real mustang and put 700+ horsepower and kept it rwd but electric people would love that.

This is a modern Mustang. The Mustang was always about taking a mass market vehicle and making it different and more desirable. Falcon to Mustang, Fairmont to Mustang. What's changed is what is a current mass market vehicle and what is considered desirable. Current mass market vehicles are all SUVs. Currently the hot desirable vehicles are electric (even if some are not ready to admit it). So if Ford mass market vehicle is an Edge an electric Edge is a mass market vehicle made desirable so it must be a Mustang.

​@@absolootdisaster1060 Yea it sucks but Ford can do whatever with the name as far as it relates to cars. They could even decide to just kill the name off altogether if they wanted. We have no control over any of it.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

What if I told you there is a Mustang skid steer?

Just stick the pony on it and call it a mustang and there ya go! That’s the precedent Ford just set with this thing.

These days Ford just makes a mediocre truck, a totally-not-a-duramax-diesel and 10-15 different versions of the Focus

He's not wrong though, Trevor.

@retrobeats OK 4chan.

Do you mean to say Mazda MX-Probe

No... Ford's original Mustang big Time marketing mistake since the Mustang 2.

People probably would have liked the Probe better if it came with the KL-ZE.

Where the heck is he supposed to find one? They are super rare from what I can recall.

@@user-bv1gq8jj6b It killed me the other day when searching through the local Pick 'N Pull to see a Probe sitting on their yard just completely rotting away.

I mean, they admitted it was just to mooch off the iconic name for sales in the first press release I saw.

"We need people to at least wonder if this might be fast, fun, and rare, rather than write it off."

It's for branding. Similar to how people will drop 50 extra dollars on a white T shirt because it has a designer logo. If this wasn't a mustang it would basically just be an electric EcoSport.

Ford never really had a car name that was made famous, outside the Mustang.

@@Appletank8 Bronco, F150, Ranger, Crown Victoria, Focus

"Yeah, my parent's have a Mustang." "A 350? A 500? ... An Ecoboost?" "A Mustang!"

Boy this meme is tired.

@@catfish552 Me: Mustang v6 is not a mustang neither so ecoboost is not a mustang. My V6 Mustang:

saw thumbnail; went 'nah... this is...' especially after seeing the munro mach-e teardown series. this thing is a nightmare brought to life.

Ford: Crossover? Crossover crossover crossover crossover. Crossover!

If even one person says it's not an abomination, then your statement is false - two people said it wasn't in the video. So, no, "literally everyone else" does not think it's an abomination. In fact, beyond a select few "grr carr guyz," nobody gives a shit because not a lot of people care about Mustangs to begin with. Most people drive Corollas and their ilk.

@@ErickC and I can attest to what RCR is saying in the video, I don't think it makes much sense to say it's not a Mustang -- Ford made the mustang, they can make anything they want a mustang lmao or they could just stop making mustang all together but it's a strong name so I don't think they would lol but it's just so stupid to gate keep a car that has gone through several iterations and has done things to it that dont make it like the purer form of mustang and an electric mustang was inevitable.

I've never see such a fat pony though.

I think ford missed out on a marketing plan for the maverick. Give it the bronco front end, but keep the tops of the fender rounded, call it the ranchero.

Not forgetting the Bronco/Bronco Sport

@@randombuilds8336 well personally I think that, if the full size pickup is the f-150, and the “intermediate” pickup is the ranger, they should’ve called the maverick something like the scout.

@@undergroundwalkerisback922 it's a unibody more like a ranchero, or the elcamino/ridgeline/ aussie ute. So with the retro craze it wouldn't have taken much to get a similar enough look to use the ranchero name and get the retro sales pitch.

@@randombuilds8336 well seeing as the rancheros purpose was a utility vehicle with the comfortability of a two door sedan, and the new maverick is more of an inner city economy based “if you need a bed you have one kinda” vehicle, i don’t think it should bare the ranchero nameplate, or the maverick nameplate. If they wanna bring the ranchero back to compete with things like the Holden Ute in Aussie land that’s fine, but giving an old name purely based off some nostalgia trip to a vehicle that has nothing to do with the vehicle the name belonged to is just bad marketing.

Good publicity gets people to buy the product, not simply talk about it. Bad publicity gets people talking about it yes, but to make fun of it.

Exactly

Well it got everyone talking… for about a few weeks, then we subsequently forgot about it. A fate befitting a humdrum copycat

Bad publicity is still publicity

@@tinystar3010 ""there's no such thing as bad publicity." -Confucious" -Marketing committee

THIS THIS THIS AND SO MUCH THIS

It might be a misstep for "car people," but the proof is always going to be in the sales compared to previous model years. 10 years from now, what are the books going to look like? I don't think any of us knows for sure if this is a misstep or not. Only time will tell.

@@ErickC according to Ford the Mach E has sold less than the Mustang coupe so.........

@@chrisrandom1404 Gee, I wonder why.
