I’m more bothered by how this dilutes the “Mustang” moniker. Why they’d do that with their most iconic car I’m not sure. Might as well make a “Mustang M150” truck now too.
Porsche IS the brand. It’s customers thought the Macan would tarnish the brand. But in reality they needed the Macan to keep making other models. Same situation as Lambo, Aston, Lotus and soon to be McClaren.

I kind of like the idea on an EV El Camino, so that could work for me.
Sure, shape it like an El Camino and call it an El Camino. But don’t build a new 7-passenger mini-van or SUV and call it an El Camino.
It doesn’t dilute anything. Porsche has ample proof that it doesn’t.
I don’t follow using Porsche as an example. What iconic model name are they re-using on vehicles that don’t match its image?
Did they create a 911 SUV or a G3 station wagon?

I can’t wait for a McLaren SUV.
