Not a Mustang. Mustangs are small, sleek, electric minivans.

Trivia:

In 1964 when For first introduced the Mustang sedan, they found that they could not use the name on European market vehicles, because the name had already been used by a delivery van maker in Germany (IIRC). But they had not made that model in years.

They offered to sell the name to Ford for $100k at the time, but Ford refused and instead marketed the car with a alpha-numeric designator..................

The “small, sleek, electric minivans” are not Mustangs at all, but a gelding with no viable purpose, a perversion trying to trade off an established marque.

Maybe sixty years ago, the Mustang was a “secretary’s car”, but they quickly turned into muscle cars in only a few years, with some surprising variations that made them a most singular line of vehicles that Ford ever produced.

Years ago, the Pontiac division of GM produced an interesting little car, the Fiero. It was thought to be a failure in its time, and production only ran for about four or five years, but it still seemed like a good candidate for some fine points of engineering to be applied, it would have been rather like a Porsche, and in fact, one model was almost identical to a Ferrari, in looks, if not in performance.
