That being said, looks like the number are good on the Mach-E SUV. If they avoid having a 'Ford interior' that could click.

I'm not seeing this as a badge engineering exercise. Badge engineering usually is up-leveling a lower brand car to luxury-brand marque. I think it's a name engineering exercise at best; I'm just not yet seeing Ford's vision/purpose of that approach.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
