I am an engineer, not a marketer, but the Mach-Es seem to me like they dilute the Mustang brand. Mustangs are more known for powerful engines and sloppy handling, like pony cars in general. An electric car had no overlap with the history of Mustang, never even a hybrid Mustang.
I also would never trust Ford with first generation car showcasing new tech anyway. They have a hard enough time just delivering a decent FWD car and they have been building those over 40 years now. No chance one of these will grace my driveway.
I have owned cars from all the major manufacturers, US, Japan, Korea, Germany, and UK.
They all have one thing in common:
They ALL break down eventually...................
They split the rear axle in 2015 for production cars, not just the Shelbys. Handling is much better. Take my word for it. :)
