Huh. So they put a truck body on the car that’s had a truck engine and truck suspension through most of its lifespan. I’m sure that will damage the legendary handling that every generation of mustang has been known for. In all seriousness though- as a fun fact- the mustang in its early days was what is known as a “secretary car.” In other words- it was originally largely regarded as eliminate and not very serious as a performance vehicle.

Carol Shelby himself first rebuffed Fords request to build a mustang race car citing that exact phrase- that it could not be a race car as it was a secretaries car. Of course, Shelby went on to strip the cars and re do engines, suspension, brakes, and more to create the now legendary Shelby GT350/500 mustangs- which with their respectable power to weight ratio, and for the time relatively compact foot print and his more capable mechanicals did quite well, and cemented the idea in the mind of buyers and Ford that the Mustang could be a capable performance car.

So it’s funny to see the Mustang, or at least one version of it, become a “sporty/fun” sort of “secretaries car” back where it started without decades of lore and brand image of a performance machine. Of course- to most people nowadays the mustang name is synonymous with performance- or at least “muscle cars/pony cars” (being that a sub genre of muscle car is called a pony car is somewhat telling of the impact the Mustangs transformation had.)

Really though, in truth- the vast majority of people who buy entry tier “performance vehicles” don’t take them anywhere near the limits of their performance potential legally and safely or otherwise- with the overwhelming number never doing so much as a single driving clinic or day at a race track with any sort of instruction let alone probing their abilities and the machines. Most Mustangs and such will only ever see even their full acceleration potential used in anything approaching safe or legal manners beyond merging onto a freeway.

For most such owners not only would their be nothing they use the current vehicle for that an SUV/crossover wouldn’t be capable of- but likely there is little to nothing most owners do with their mustangs that an SUV cross over wouldn’t be better or equal at. There will (at least for some time) be a “car” version of the mustang to go along with the mustang “E-suv” version- but consumer buying habits have been speaking for some time with “cross over” and “suv” vehicles dominating next to trucks.

A good electric drive train easily rivals or dollar per dollar beats conventional power trains on brochure numbers and “set of the pants” feel- even if they do have other draw backs. With more consumers- even those, perhaps especially those in demographics like the one the mustang- eschewing manual transmissions, or manufacturers not offering them for performance and other practical reasons- even in performance cars, it is not likely that m at would have the connection or sensitivity to really notice or care if they were driving a truck.
