The SUV That Almost Killed the Mustang!
Did you know Mustang almost ruined their brand with an SUV? Let me explain. When you think Mustang, you think loud V8, rearwheel drive, pure American muscle. But in 2020, Ford did the unthinkable. They made the Mustang Mache. No V8, just an electric motor, and fans were pissed. How could an SUV wear the Mustang badge? But here’s the twist. It actually worked. The Mache sold well, and Ford new SUVs were at an all-time high. It brought new people to the brand and proved the Mustang name could survive the EV era.
