Dark Matter Gray seems to have gone as well. The colour choices are pitiful, unless more are due to be added.

Ah man! I've been trying to order a Yellow Splash for weeks in the UK and couldn't get the order in, and Atlas Blue was my backup :crying: UK configurator not yet updated but it will be the same, alas. Not sure what to do now.

I'm curious: is part exchanging your existing car with the dealer for money off the new one not an option or not the usual way to deal in America? I'd say 90% of new car purchases in the UK include either a P/X or an end of lease/PCP return to the supplying dealer. It's hard to sell anything...

That's not looking great, is it. And the other reports of easily marked plastics makes me think these cars aren't going to age well at all, How many miles are you on currently?

My dealer told me that the MY24 order banks closed, without warning, on Friday. Assuming that this is a) correct, and b) not something specific to that dealer or to the UK market (which is a whole lot more complicated than it used to be due to increasingly stringent fleet emission quotas), then...

I had planned to visit my dealer today to place my order, but was told that the MY24 order banks closed, without warning, on Friday. They ran me a quote and we did some dealing at '24 prices and they promised (albeit, only verbally) to honour that price when the order banks reopen (presumably...

The absence of heating and cooling for the Recaros is an odd omission to not resolve for the S650 (I assume it's not a trivial thing for Ford/Recaro to do), but it feels like less of an issue on the DH as the main material is a variant of alcantara/suede and that has better thermal qualities...

I'm not sure that it's a need for instant gratification for many that's the problem but more that Ford struggle to stick to any sort of schedule. I think if a customer received a delivery date when ordering that was 9-12 months in the future, but there was a strong chance of Ford hitting or...

I'm booked to visit my dealer a week today (14th July) to order my car. I can't get in any earlier so, assuming the order will be received by Ford the following day, it looks like I'll get in on the last day of MY24. I wonder if my chosen spec will make it to the new model year? We'll have to...

I'm not sure I could warm to the looks of the new M2, but objectively speaking, it's a hell of a machine. I was drawn to the Z4 Handschalter (the manual version with the green paint and tan leather) and there is one for sale with <2k miles on the clock for £10k under list, but I also want that...

Thanks @alscar. Glad to hear this isn't the norm but a bit of a shame that the one car I want to buy new has a sales process that is, in effect, similar to buying used (you get the spec that's available and can't be too choosy). I basically spent my childhood reading brochures and imagining how...

Count yourself lucky you got that far. I called a dealer today to enquire about making a factory order only to be told Ford won't accept any more orders. I suspect it's actually that they won't accept any more for MY24 and when MY25 order books open, I can go from there, but right now she's...

Thanks @avocet and @keithwalton for the replies. I spent time yesterday replaying this thread from the start and the extent of missed deadlines and broken promises is remarkable coming from the manufacturer that supposedly invented modern mass production; it reads more like the level of...

Hello 👋 I have cogitated for some time and concluded that I can make the numbers work to buy my first new car, and as the sort of cars I enjoy are disappearing, I figure grabbing myself one of the last survivors and keeping it forever is the way to go. Better yet, I ran it past my wife and...

The Mustang is crying out for a green of some sort. I'd also love to see seat colour options in European markets as black is not ideal for convertibles, but am not holding my breath. Could well be a future mod to swap out the interior for Space Gray in a RHD car.

You've basically just listed my favourite colours in order of preference, so having just convinced myself that now is the time to buy my perfect Mustang (but not having yet spoken to my wife about my plans!), I have a terrible sense of dread that I'll get to the point of ordering and my perfect...
