Mustang Mach-E

[12,000 RPM]

What is the prize of this pedantry contest, and can we set a deadline for final entries to win it?

I have to agree. This is some dumb ass discourse for shit nobody buys.

I think this thing will do well and is a positive sign for Ford's electric future.

The Tesla truck is the best publicity the Mach E could have got.

Please cite a specification.

The absence of a B pillar is the distinction of a hardtop, not a coupe.  Coupes, sedans, and even wagons may or may not be hardtops.  The mid 50s Bel Air could be had as either a 2 or 4 door hardtop (no pillar) or sedan (with pillar).

I also wouldn't take Chevy marketing as to what is or isn't a coupe as gospel.  They marketed fixed-roof Corvairs as "spyders".  A spyder is a roadster.

Actually, the specification is what an automaker calls it:

Pontiac LeMans coupe:



Cadillac Coupe DeVille:



A coupe can have a b-pillar, if the rear window doesn't roll down:

The classification fail is cars have grown and the SAE standard has not been updated

[Soup DeVille]

Who looks up SAE classifications before deciding what to call a car?

A Coupe, BTW, is a cut-down sedan for two passengers, plus a driver and (optionally) a footman that is pulled by no more than two horses.

Well since trying to define specifications for what vehicle terms mean is pedantry, I am going to say that the Challenger is a Pickup truck in the vein of a Chevy Avalanche. It is RWD, it has 2 rows of seats and it has an exterior cargo area with a locking hard cover.

Arguing over inches of length and rear seating space is pedantic.

Men have been arguing over that since they first looked in their pants.

Well, those inches are more precious to come by.

A coupe is a coach that has been cut down to a two-seater. That's two passengers, a footman and a driver, and two horses.

Anything else is Not a coupe.

+1!

I don't like the mustang name going on a non-sports car but whatever.

EVERYONE said Porsche was nuts building an SUV, but that probably saved them?....

[MX793]

Porsche had the good sense not to name their SUV the "911 GT3X".

[12,000 RPM]

If they did the outcome would have been exactly the same.

This?

In retrospect, it may have sold even better..

[Soup DeVille]

This?

Exactly!

[GoCougs]

Keep going.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Keep going.

It's not going anywhere without a horse.

[r0tor]

Would it hurt a horse's feelings if it were found to not produce 1 SAE horsepower?

[Soup DeVille]

Horses in general produce around 4 hp (peak), but there's of course a story behind that too...

The difference of course is "coupe" is not a standardized unit of measurement.

Isn't that just a 2-door Blazer?

Wow. read the WHOLE thread. Arguing worse than anything I ever did here. And Cougs being a royal idiot once again who really doesn't know what he's talking about especially when it comes to modern EVs.

I'm a multi time Mustang owner of modern and classic Mustangs and a fan of the marque. And I like this EV. I understand what they were doing with the branding, generating buzz that an Escape EV would not have done. How much buzz?

The first year's production of the $61k First Edition is sold out already. So much for the "it won't sell" remarks in the thread.

I would love to have one of these as the daily driver in a garage next to a GT350 or GT500.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The Mustang is dead.
