And no, I’m not calling it a Mustang
Although I must say seems to be a good overall package from the specs
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

makes me think... would the Blazer be more or less popular without the controversy around the name? if less, when does that effect wear off or even reverse?
does Ford know something we don’t? are they counting on controversy driving the product?
on the hand, never ascribe to genius what can be easily explained by incompetence.

I’d wager the Venn diagram of “people who would buy the new blazer” and “people who like the old K5 blazer” is two separate circles

Stupid name is stupid. I am genuinely curious why they had nothing else to call it. Its not going to piggyback off the reputation of the real mustang and if its a flop you have stained the name with something lower than the M ustang II. Nothing to gain with everything to lose. Fuck it, if this is the route Ford wants to take then my expedition is now a mustang. It has more in common with it than this does.

Pros: Grabber Blue, and those Tailights, having at least one physical button on the infotainment screen
Cons: Everything else

Sure, Agreed. Thats not what I mean. I just mean to say that the free press they got from the backlash...did it help or hurt GM ? I really don’t know.

I’d have to think it didn’t really matter in the end. As it is right now, you have to try very hard to NOT sell a compact-to-midsize CUV.
that’s why I’m mildly amused at the backlash over the Mach-E. It doesn’t affect the Mustang crowd in the slightest; they were never going to buy anything like this. People interested in a non-Tesla BEV that doesn’t cost $Texas might be pulled in by the Mustang name, and that’s the point. There’s a lot to like about the car, and I’m waiting until after 9:30 when I might be able to talk about it a bit.

It actually looks really good, especially the blue one with the sportier front clip. But calling it a Mustang is dumb.
