Remember when the Probe was almost called the Mustang?

We dodged that bullet back in ~1986, v6-powered front-wheel-drive, they backed off and kept the Fox alive.

Looks like the Mustang heritage just dodged another one...

I think it could be popular, however they need to leave the mustang and its heritage out of it

Agreed, a big electric SUV seems to be what consumers want. The name "Mach 1" doesn't belong on anything that is not a Mustang though, and to be honest the nose of that thing looks too Mustangish too. Not that I don't like the look, I do, but it doesn't belong on a SUV with 24 inch wheels.

Looks more like a crossover than an SUV.

Glad it didn't replace the Fox, but the Probe GT was a pretty sweet ride back in the day.
