A GT here (equivalent to your premium) down under will be ~AUD$90k.
It will be disappointing if our scheduled January builds still have crap build quality.
This is a lot of money.
I get sick of people making excuses that it's mass produced.
So is a BMW, Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, etc.
CJs did a...
Sort of.
We have very limited options down under. :lipssealed:
What we get is basically the GT Premium minus a few things.
But don't stir the pot!
I am so jealous we cannot order the space grey interior.
Would look great with Oxford White.
Chassis - watch the following video (even if it is mostly annoying wobble-cam) and you'll see that quite a lot of subtle changes have been made underneath.
Steering - torsionally stiffer, and rack ratio is quicker.

Better late, than never!

Some good news!
Job 2 is scheduled to start second week of November.
Our [rumoured] Aussie RHD builds in January will obviously be a part of that.
Job 2 is where the factory can implement tweaks and improvements mid MY.
I'm happy about that, and the fact ours will not be at the tail end of...
I'm sure we've all perused the brochure released by Ford (of Australia) officially released last Thursday.

Ignoring the drop in power :curse:, what other differences with the US spec GT have you...
Pre-orders can't possibly be "locked in" prior to the final specs and pricing being made public.
Ever since October 2022 (when holding deposit was paid) I have requested MagneRide and a rear wing spoiler.
Now, we officially know this combination (spoiler + OTT stripes in Appearance pack) WITH...
Will be interesting to see if the Aussie (and UK) RHDs are at the end of Job #1, or at the beginning of Job #2.
Latest rumours here are for January builds.
Hoping for Job #2 to make tweaks and fix things that need fixing.
You can get an ammonia-free version of Windex from supermarkets.
Would be interesting to try this against the over-priced products aimed at "enthusiasts".
Like I posted months ago, our Pacific Peso was forecast to improve against the Greenback.
And this from Commsec today:
A 10% improvement by end of financial year is forecast (63 > 69 cents).
This won't help anyone getting a car in the first allocation however.
It should negate any price...
I would take what they say with a grain of salt.
They are obviously well down the food chain, and haven't received the latest information.
Their primary job is to give the illusion that the manufacturer is engaged and is listening to potential customers. Nothing is further from the truth. The...
Although not entirely relevant to our market, I do keep an eye on the scheduling notes as posted by newface.
Job #1 was "balancing out" mid January, at least for their domestic LHD market.
I'm not familiar with the historical time line between Jobs #1 and #2, and if the FRAP is actually down...
Appreciate the update(s), Steve.
I'm getting more info from you and your sources than from either of my dealers.
Now I'm wondering if our RHD builds will be at the end of Job #1 (not great, with all the reported "bugs" and issues the 'Mericans have been posting about recently), or, if it will...
