I know you have much more intimate knowledge than I do being on the inside. That said, one thing you guys (the UAW) should bear in mind is that while inventory *IS* low and some disruption will be caused specificaly from an aftermarket standpoint with dealers not getting parts needed for...

^^^This is correct. But the important takeaway is that the vast majority of the jobs most critical to productions *ARE* represented by the UAW. In the past (talking decades ago), if a strike went on for too long, American OEMs even went as far as furloughing salaried workers or having their...

Agreed with others who said check the forums. My build date is still over a month out, so out of sight and out of mind...

Turns out reading is fundamental. Who knew! :giggle: On a serious note, the article also states this decision was due to supply chain constraints. I suspect Ford doesn't want to produce any material that promises they're offering features that have to be stealthily deleted later (this has been...

Yeah, that's pretty tacky too.

Yeah, California is definitely a special case. Most states aren't nearly as consumer-friendly.

I like Automatic Headlights, but I agree with you about Automatic Wipers. Here in the South where we see a lot of convective rains (in which the rate of precipitation is highly variable), trying to adjust the speed/frequency of your wipers can get very tricky.

There was an article the other day that Chrysler is front-loading their production in anticipation of a strike. They're working a ton of overtime and not shutting down this Summer.

Don't be so sure. See GM in 2019...

Just FYI, the current contract doesn't expire until 9/14. So any strike wouldn't happen until then. That said, I would certainly be concerned about more delays if my car hasn't been built and shipped from FRAP by then.

Now *THAT'S* a classy and tastefully designed dashboard, not whatever Ford did with the S650...

The dealers don't control price increases from Ford, but it is entirely at the dealer's discretion if they choose to honor the price at the time your order was placed before any increases by Ford, correct? And it seems most dealers are doing the latter (if for no other reason, it's the ethical...

$5k-6k under MSRP is much better than X-Plan pricing. That's more in the A/Z-Plan pricing ball park.

It's describing not driving stick as "missing out" that's the issue, implying that one is better than the other (I know it's not intentional, but it does come across as pretentious). Driving stick is not required to own a Mustang and you can have plenty of fun without it. But yes, I agree, to...

Cool.

I find the ageist comments to be tacky in general (just like the S650's infotainment screens, ZING!!! :sunglasses:). I'm not even sure where they came from, nor why they're being entertained. It's not as though one's taste in vehicle design or how saavy someone is technically has anything to do...

I'm assuming @LETHAL meant they're a money pit since they only make up a tiny portion of Ford's volume, which is the case for now and will remain the case within the the forseeable future. And it's not just Ford, but all OEMs. That said, at face value, any growth in sales is better than none.

To your point though, as the examples on the Bronco6G forum show, I still wouldn't rest my laurels on all dealers honoring Ford's price protection.

My wording was fine. Again, you're just being pedantic.

I argued nothing of the sort. Obviously, I can't control what other buyers do, nor am I entitled to know their reasons for doing it. I can only control what I do and my reasons for doing it. That all should go without saying. That said, there was nothing inaccurate about the concept I...
