I guess Maverick was too sullied for them :). LTD might have fit though.

I agree but this was the sort of thing that I recall them doing in the 70s, which albeit were not the best years of the Mustang (Mustang II - I can't believe they mentioned that one in their livestream early on.) I have to say the car appealed to me a lot and I watched their whole livestream because I was excited by the car; haven't plopped down the deposit yet but the night is young :) .

Muddying the water is not a bad thing here. They’re streamlining the Mustang brand — something they should do to stay afloat. As most people think, Mustang is a sport car but the population is aging rapidly and Ford has to accommodate. Now, instead of a Mustang enthusiast walking in and having to bypass the new model because they have a growing family, they’ll be able to purchase the family-friendly Mustang Mach-E.

The 459 hp/612 lb-ft GT Performance Edition is now the dream combo for the older, family diehard Mustang enthusiasts.

We are in a golden era of muscle cars with Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet producing the most powerful and poised cars in the category ever, and Ford comes out with this Tesla lookalike branded as a 'Mustang'? Incredible. why not call it the Ford Electro or some new name - why on earth mess around with the Mustang brand?
