it's anti change simply because it's change. Ignoring the benefits and clinging onto whatever negative that can be found no matter how insignificant.

You're missing my point. I'm not ignoring any benefits of an EV here. What I am saying is that for me the benefits of EV don't outweigh the drawbacks. More to the point as far as I'm concerned, a SUV/CUV is all drawback with no redeeming quality, and making it fast doesn't much change that.

Perhaps any definition of "better" should be up to each individual to determine for himself. A CUV would not be better for me, no matter how many people think it should be, and an EV would not be more fun for me to drive no matter for how many other people it might be. "More masculine than other CUVs"? Gimme a break; as a not-a-truck/SUV/offroad guy why would I even want to present that kind of image?
I know I've read that people at Ford have gotten more enthusiastic when working on anything with the name 'Mustang' associated with it. But at this point as far as the Mach E is concerned, that's strictly a matter of the Mustang's heritage having coattails worth trying to ride on.
