Not... really. The Volt was a plug-in hybrid, not a conventional hybrid like the original Prius.

It’s not body heat sensitive, and it’s just a button that appears to be reasonably large. Should be fine.

People won’t die when batteries die with Ford’s system here, either. Capacitors can hold charge for years.

There’s a lot to be said for an established mass-market automaker coming out with an attractive product (sorry, Chevy Bolt).

Even the base models have better-than-average performance numbers.

I am so there. It was pretentious as hell. The story was horrid. Yes, I know it was “only a movie” but there were plot holes you could, ahem, drive a truck through.

Baby Driver was at least mostly entertaining and didn’t take itself too seriously. I do wonder, though, who thought Jon Hamm would be a good idea...

Drive was awful, and contained distressingly little, um, driving.

Also: the XLR 

My mom had the first SC coupe sold in Alberta when Saturn launched. She LOVED that car; drove great and was maybe the best-looking small 2-door GM product since the Corvair Monza.

I live in Whitehorse, Yukon, a northern Canadian community within a couple hour’s drive of Skagway, Alaska. Our Ford dealer here hasn’t sold any of their EV/hybrid models so far (I’d guess because those models required special tech equipment and training).

I would TOTALLY do this over the Model Y. Looks better, decent performance... And I probably feel better buying from Ford.

Impressive specs. Good looks (though I wouldn’t call that dash “sporty”, exactly). I’m not nuts about the Mustang branding but it isn’t a dealbreaker, either (especially with that GT 0-60 time).

Yeah, I get it, but I’m prepared to give Ford a chance on this.

From the previews Ford is positioning this as a legit performance vehicle, and if we take, say, the Tesla Model 3 Performance as a benchmark the Mach-E might well keep up with a GT on a twisty road.

The jury is out on whether this actually represents a “misuse” of brand equity.

It’s clear that Ford is now setting up “Mustang” and “Bronco” as significant sub-brands with multiple models. For Bronco it will be fine. And if the Mach-E is a decent performance car it might work there, too.

I’m not nuts about the branding, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. An E-CUV with sporty design is a cool idea. Crossing my fingers and hoping that it’s just a decent vehicle.

Same applies to any performance-oriented crossover, really.

I don’t mind it. And I like the idea of a sporty-looking EV crossover from a mass-market automaker. I don’t think branding it as an actual Mustang variant is a smart idea, but that wouldn’t stop me from buying one.
