Ford has been saying its new is “Mustang-inspired” since last year’s . And with the official name, they really, really went there.

The battery-powered performance crossover will be called the Ford Mustang Mach-E, complete with the pony logo and everything.

But after “,” as Ford CEO Jim Hackett put it, that historic name was scrapped in favor of something new. Indeed, plenty of Angry Internet People balked at giving an EV people-mover the same name as a Mustang performance option that spanned decades.

The car will be revealed in full this Sunday at an event in Los Angeles right before that city’s auto show. It will be streamed on , , and China’s Autohome that evening, and afterward you’ll be able to reserve one with a $500 refundable deposit.
