It's getting ridiculous. It's June next week. So much for spring '16 release date.

 

It is odd how Ford is handling the RS productions, not even giving firm production estimates. I would have thought they would have wanted at least 1 on most dealer lots as a draw.

 

Sounds to me like Ford wants to be sure its right or as right as it can be to the point of allowing the release date to slip a ways. At least that was the impression I got from the project manager in the RS development videos. If I had a downpayment, I'd be ok with waiting.

 

I would be concerned in the sense of.....What are they still trying to get right? There was a lot of hype going on with the car, right up until there was some overheating issues with a few RDU's at magazine tests, then Ford seemed to kind of go quiet...

 

There is a reason people say not to buy the 1st model year of a new car. All this new tech Ford is trying out is bound to have some teething issues.

 

Same thing I felt when my kids got quiet while playing in the next room...........something's wrong.

Heaven forbid a US assembly plant could open up to bolster US production.

 

I think we both agree that something is not right, and they are trying to fix it. Perhaps the issue is openness? I guess that comes down to what people believe Ford should be saying about the situation. I don't see them as owing anyone a required explanation, but I'm sure others believe that since they put a $1K downpayment on a first-of-a-kind $36K car, Ford should be pandering to their impatience for a new toy.

 

You mean Mexico.

Fiesta ST for NA is built in Mexico. Fiesta ST for Europe is built in Germany.

 

I'd be a bit nervous if my delivery date kept being pushed back, seeing how it's a brand new model. Otherwise, I wouldn't care. Hopefully it's for the best.

 

As far as I know, there never was a set delivery other than "Spring 2016"...

 

Cutting it close.. less than a month.

 

It's over 80 almost every day here in Vegas, it's summer...lol

 

LOL. Getting close here. I lived in Vegas for a summer... 113 was the lowest, I think. Or maybe I just remember it that way. haha. Them thunder storms, though...

 

Once we hit July, it typically not below 105 until September.

 

Well, our cars suck here... but the weather is nice LOL.
