Mach E missing from this photo. It's not a mustang it's an all electric small SUV, give it a new nameplate you cowards.

(I'm not some purist, just sharing the recognition that the Mach E is a vastly different product and should not have gotten the nameplate, and they used Mustang to evoke a sense of reliability/performance to push sales their experimental new SUV)

I own one and like the car, but the branding is awkward. There was one car related service that had me select and let me specify that it was the mach e, but the places system just printed out "mustang" and they were a bit confused.

And Puma is such a sporty sounding name too. And it ends up as yet another bland crossover.

Augh I love the early Puma. I wish I could get one in the states.

I owned an original puma, such a wonderful car. Then the new monstrosity arrived :( sad times

Not a big deal - the crapi was rightly viewed as such, and the puma was a rebadged fiesta; the cougar was the real car of that era. Still sucked though.
