I’m excited. I’d very much like to drive one when they come out.
Standout feature: the knob that protrudes from the bottom part of the touchscreen and, I assume, has various contextual uses. If they intelligently combine that with steering wheel controls like Tesla does then that will be a user interface win.
Very curious to see the fit and finish of the interior in person. Not holding my breath on the exterior; if the past 20 years are anything to go on Ford is about as good at making panels line up as they are at winning Lemans these days.
Styling thoughts: It’s good. Far better than their other crossovers. I get real i-Pace vibes.
Name thoughts: Meh. Mach-E does not roll off the tongue later. Gnashing of teeth about “mustang heritage” is of no concern to me.
Other thoughts: I really, REALLY hope the success of the Mach-E will result in the platform underpinning every successive Lincoln model. That brand needs a shot in the arm beyond “Look at our flagship, it’s a Ford Fusion with dumb door handles” and smooth electric powerplants are 100% the way to do it. Even better would be if they resist the urge to make them “sporty” and give them a nice comfortable soft ride. When paired with a silent electric motor you could get the most serene drive this side of a Maybach... in a Lincoln.

I think having a dial that changes its purpose is absurd to me. Why would anyone want that? I like knowing where my controls are and having that change while driving is not a great design choice.

I think the badge-engineered lincoln will be really cool... but it’s gonna be left down by the old name “Lincoln”
If you compare this thing to a Tesla model Y, it’s actually relatively competitive.... but then I think the Model Y has the potential to sell a lot more because it’s not a ford.

If they designed it with any
level of intelligence you’ll be able to customize its function to an extent, like having it default to volume or click it for “seek track” or whatever secondary function. Stuff like that.
twist for volume, “click” it and then twist for hot/cold. Or to seek through a track. Or to zoom a map.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

It’s crazy to think that the company that has the first mass produced low, modern car, is the same one that has completely turned its back on cars. The 49 was a revolution. It literally changed the shape of cars.
My point is that this slick 5 door fast back look s like a blob, because it’s sort of an SUV and basically just has the same shape of a 40s Ford. Actually no that’s an insult. Crossovers, the “ fastback” or “Coupe” ones especially are a regression not progression.
The Mach is looks bad and it should feel bad. The taillights look cool tho.

I still wish EVs would ditch
the ‘everything is on a touch screen’ idea and have physical buttons for most stuff with a small 7 or 8" touchscreen for infotainment and navigation like
most ICE cars...I don't want an ugly giant-ass tablet in the middle of my dash. Part of the reason I hate this and Tesla interiors...
