I think the Tesla interior is way better than a Mustangs. I worry about the Ford software though as they haven't proven they can build good infotainment. Maybe they should have designed something a little less polarizing than the Tesla interior though.

I think this will sell way better than the E-Tron and ID cross given its price points and performance. Good job Ford.

Very disappointing they are whoring the legendary Mustang name. This is no Mustang, not even in the slightest sense. It's a jacked up Tesla fighter, and a nice one at that. Just leave the damn Mustang history out of it. Weak marketing decisions show a level of desperateness.

Agreed. And why does Ford think the Mustang name will attract EV buyers? I just don’t understand the move. If I just spent $60k on an exciting new EV I sure as hell don’t wanna tell my coworkers it’s called a “Mustang”

I think it's a somewhat odd choice to use the Mustang name, though I get it. I think this looks pretty good.

would you be ok with a squared off wall of a dash in order to fit that screen?

I would prefer it was designed properly like the Model S or how Audi does it although I'm not a fan of 3 or more screens. But at least it looks integrated and clean.

I agree, it's a sportback cleverly disguised as a CUV--I'd totally buy one. Ford kind of has to call this a crossover, since they've cancelled all of their cars. But if you look at the specs, this thing is 3" shorter vertically than even the subcompact Ecosport CUV. So it's really more Panamera than it is Macan, although it looks a hell of a lot better than the Panamera.
