oh LOL, but what I said still goes for the other defenders of illiteracy.

Only loosers correct other peoples spelling and grammer...
Does that include teachers, parents or I don't know your Boss? Do people care that little about coming across uneducated that they would rather go on making the same mistakes and people laughing at them without saying anything? Wouldn't people rather continue to learn and be educated which brings more respect to their opinion? You can inform people of their mistakes without being an a$$ or trying to humiliate them.

Typos don’t bother me. Very easy to do especially on mobile devices.What bugs me is using the wrong word like “breaks” instead of brakes. Usually multiple times so it wasn’t a typo. I mean - 5th graders know the difference between those two words.
It is sad that people don't care more about their grammar, and that others don't see a problem with it. Have a little pride in your communication skills. Believe me it is not my strong suit either but a little effort goes a long way. My biggest pet peeve is the use, or misuse of "a" and "an". It seems today not effort is put in to a lot of different things and no one seems to care about it. I blame education for some of it and parenting for some but at some point you are responsible for your own actions.

Its black, like on the Explorer
Thanks, thought so but old eyes couldn't quite make it out. I wonder if there will be a silver option in addition to black and white like the Flex had?
-
I guess that answers my body colored roof question and the pillars are still black even the wide C pillar. I can't quite make out of the A pillar is black or brown though.

Can someone please tell me how the boxer engine and symmetrical all-wheel drive are unmatched by any other automotive brand?

I think Courier while not old sounding to me is just boring. I have never liked Ranchero always sounded like a copy of El Camino which is way better even though I believe Ranchero was first. Maverick is not bad but I don't like Scout alone, maybe Ranger Scout. Funny I don't know why Ford picked Bronco Sport over Bronco Scout which I like much better.
-
I think it would be cool with the Bronco on the grill. Doubt it will happen though. I am a Mustang owner by the way and see no issue with it in the grill.

If this is true (I believe it) I wonder why, with no Fiesta or Focus ST I would think they could sell a good number of them. Also Ford needs to figure out a way to bring the Puma (including ST) here, perhaps to slot above the Ecosport which I hope is being replaced soon with a superior vehicle. I guess this won't be happening either, but again I don't know why. Freaking Hyundai SUV s are everywhere around here and I must begrudgingly admit they are good looking (never drove one though). Again especially without Fiesta and Focus Ford needs some smaller more inexpensive SUV's, but they seem only interested in the high end. Even though brand loyalty is not what it was I can't help but think a lot of these Hyundai buyers of small SUV's if satisfied will stick with them and move up through their model line as they age. I am a Ford guy and always will be but they need to keep buyers and gain new ones with some better efforts. I like the new Escape, the front end is the weak spot but it really isn't that exiting a design and the interior is a little cheap ( guess this is getting fixed). The Explorer I think is the best looking sportiest in its class but launch was a mess and it is really expensive.

This has a black roof and the one from the dealer presentation had a white roof, I wonder if you can get a color match roof as well?

I don't know how you'd do a removable roof on a trucklet like this, especially when it looks like the doors have frames around the windows, but it sure looks like there are cut lines at the tops of the A, C, and D pillars...
I would assume that is for when the roof is a different color. The dealer picture of the orange BrS had what looked like a white roof (maybe light grey). The order guide said it was available with a black or grey roof. Maybe the pillars are black either way and they needed a cut line for when it has a grey roof. I would like to see it available with a rood matching the rest of the car. i am thinking the pilars will be blacked out always but I guess they could be offered in the car color as well.

I actually like straight lines better, love Ford '70's styling, however to me 2015 - 2017 >> 2018 - 2020 >> 2013 - 2014 >> 2005 -2009 >> 2010 - 2012 >>1979 - 1993 >>>> 1994-1998 >> 1999-2004.
IMHO of course
-
They have got to figure a way to get this here. Just about every other manufacturer has something like this. With no focus either the only thing Ford offers at the bottom of the market is Ecosport. Had one as a loaner and it (an SES) was not that bad but certainly has 0% coollness to it.

I actually like it a lot. Of course the actual truck might be be even better. I do agree the windshield pillars are to thick. I like all of the non-metallic colors on it makes it different from all of the metallic paint jobs out there.
-
Wow! It looks really awesome in that picture. I just think it could have used some fog lights.

Ah. My apologies then! haha. Amazing what punctuation can do!
No problem.
Ironically the CUV, just like the coupe doesn't even say Mustang on it and most people will probably just call it the Mach E anyway. So in reality it is not that big of a deal but I still would have been happier if it had stayed Mustang inspired only. I don't even mind the pony badges since they made them the outline with black in the middle.

This is what you said: would it stop me from buying a Mach E as my wife's next car, no way I want one.
You literally said you wouldn't buy one because it's named Mustang Mach E.
LOL, forgot the comma, as in no way would it stop me because I want one.

Second, even if the EV transition were to move as rapidly as the most aggressive plans call for, it would not necessarily maximize benefits for the climate. The climate advantage of an EV relative to a car with an internal combustion engine over its life cycle depends not only on the fuels used to generate the electricity it runs on, but also on emissions created during manufacturing. An EV charged by West Virginia’s coal-heavy system today, for instance, would actually emit more greenhouse gases than a hybrid gasoline-electric car, according to a recent MIT study. The same study points out that because most EV batteries today are sourced from Asia, a lot of coal is likely to be burnt to make them.
This is what people that think we need to rush into electric don't seem to understand. Now of course this will change over time and in the long run everything being electric will be cleaner, but rushing into it doesn't solve anything. Not to mention it is just unrealistic. We need to clean up making electricity on a large scale first. Wind and solar should definitely be part of the plan but I don't think they are the whole solution because of the limitations. Cold fusion would be nice but we are no closer today the twenty years ago as far as I know.

THE MUSTANG COUPE/VERT ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. MACH E DOESN'T AFFECT TRADITIONAL MUSTANG AT ALL.
So you won't buy a vehicle because of a name? Got it.
First I said : Will it stop me from buying a Mustang as my next car of course not Maybe you should read what I wrote before responding.
Second - no one said the Mustang is going away or being replaced that is not the issue. The issue is that using the Mustang name on the car is unnecessary. It would get the same boost just from saying it was Mustang inspired and the Mustang design cues.
Also this nothing to do with not wanting change, that is silly. The Mustang has changed a lot over the years and will continue to do so. This is about putting the name on a CUV. where it does not belong.
It is done it is a Mustang because Ford says so and that is there decision but that does not mean I have to like it. The people that like it are entitled to and I don't know why they need to attack those of us that do not like it and just accept that our opinions differ on this.

So a few diehard Mustang fans are upset but not enough to stop buying coupes. Meanwhile a whole new market is opened up for folks who don’t want or can’t have an ICE coupe.
There is at least one more mustang sub branded vehicle on the way, so I guess we’ll have this discussion all over again.
No reason to upset the Mustang loyalists though, everything would be the same if the Mach E was just Ford Mach E and not Ford Mustang Mach E.

In all seriousness, the Mustang was a secretaries car when it first came out...performance didn't happen til later
Then add in that the Mustang survived mostly on non-performance models most of its lifetime, at least the MME will have performance chops closer to a Mustang GT then an old 88 HP 4 banger Mustang of the 1980s.
Just because it has an extra 2 doors doesn't change any of that.
Well actually it does and that is the point as far as I am concerned. The performance is great but it is not the main thing that makes a Mustang a Mustang in my mind. It is the fact that it is a personal sporty "coupe", it does not have to have high performance to accomplish that. There are plenty of performance vehicles in all configurations, sedans, trucks, suv's and so on. The Mach E would of probably sold the same if it was just Mach E. Keep the Mustang inspired part that is fine, even the horse emblem although I would have changed it a little. I get why they did it to capitalize o the name recognition to separate it but the looks and connection to Mustang alone could've accomplished that. Look in the end it is done I just would not have done it. Will it stop me from buying a Mustang as my next car of course not, would it stop me from buying a Mach E as my wife's next car, no way I want one. I just think there would be less opposition from die hard Mustang people although maybe that was part of the point.

One of the biggest issues in rapid charging is something that seems very trivial, the temperature of the cable used to charge the vehicle when it is charging at high speeds. Charging at those higher rates make the cable so hot it would burn you (like melt your skin off 1st degree burns) if you make the with liquid cooling and extra insulation it becomes so heavy that very few people can use it as it becomes 100+ lbs that you're dragging.Is this true. I have not heard this and find it very hard to believe. The wires carrying 220 to appliances do not get hot nor should they. Why should the wire carrying the charge to the car?

The truth is no matter what the utility gains are the two door market is pretty dead outside of a few areas. For this vehicle as has been said it will be used as a car most of the time with the added utility for occasions when it is needed. It will not be worth having a two and four door model if the split would be like 80/20 at best.
