    They wanted awareness.

    They got awareness.

    Nobody is skipping the mustang because it shares a nameplate.

    Mission 100% successful.

      I mean, if I had the money, I would skip both and buy the transaxle as a crate engine and put it in something that’s actually interesting.

        Some people like a warranty on their dailies. Myself including.

        I also race a Saturn sw2 with an ecboost. There is room for both.

          Ok, another point. You have absolutely no way of knowing if the mustang name has had anything to do with it’s success. People shopping for an ev suv probably don’t care that much about a muscle car lineage. Saying that this discussion proves it does work is just marketing nonsense.
