Ive been involved with composite body and structural panels, both fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced, for several decades. The use of carbon fiber reinforced materials keeps growing. The challenge is cost of course. To steal an old saying about speed...Weight reduction costs money, how...
I ordered my GT Convertible maybe a week after you, sticker generated last week shows about $750 increase...500 for Dark Matter Gray and I think 250 base price. I am 99.5% sure I am protected at the order (lower) price. Supposedly being built this week.
That's borderline insanity. I wouldn't buy a car right now if I couldn't pay cash or get a rate under the 5.3% that CD's & Money Market instruments are paying today.
Again, what part of "Ford is a Global Company" do you not understand?
Should Porsche only sell the GT3 to Germans? I'm sure they could still sell them all.
The RWD , IC Engine Mustang is very likely going away at some point. So if that is the only thing you will accept as a Mustang, then the brand will disappear completely in a few years. Is that what you think Ford should do?
Whatever comes after S650 will have more in common with the Mach E...
My F150 has a 700 mile range with a full tank and if I somehow drive that far in one stretch I'm back on the road in 5 minutes or so with another 700 miles of range. There is simply still too little range with EVs if they expect to convert everyone in even the next 20 years. 200-250 miles of...
I can see why they would do almost every one of those things and suspect the price increases aren't quite as bad as it would appear. In 22 I believe they made the base Lariat what was previously the first level "premium" level and the price increase was primarily due to that .
Unless something changes, my build should be next week, which is roughly 9 weeks after the order. It has said scheduled 4/29 week since late March. I got an "in production date of 4/16 a week or so ago, then got a new "in production " date of 4/26 yesterday...so I suspect it's maybe started...
If it was a limited edition package,, the badge would say "Ă—Ă—Ă—Ă—/2500". This topic comes up monthly on watch forums. Its obviously "limited availability" at the moment (which some cases can simply mean " can't seem to get them scheduled and built for some reason") and will likely be a " limited...
