Right, but I think there is a mandate that each "model" must also meet standards with exceptions only allowed for very specific reasons.
I will look this up later to provide more facts.
However, if it is the case that the exception cannot be used (or not desired to be used) for the "Mustang" any longer, then just throw in something that will get 150 eMPG into the same model and bam -- you have satisfied the `rules`.
I think there is more to the naming than just word-of-mouth hype.
