Now they have a black one and a blue one listed at msrp. Looks like they finally gave up on the markups. I asked if they are getting any base models in. The guy said no because they would not sell easy. Told him I bet they would sell faster then a 10K marked up option vehicle....he laughed. He said they are getting 7 total this year.

Name of dealer?

Great excuse for a Vegas road trip.

Whatever you do, don't do any business with All Star Ford in Pittsburg, CA

I've been dealing with all sorts of BS with them to the point that I now have a lawyer involved.

I'll share more about it once it's resolved...

Just wait for someone to get tired of it. They always do. I almost bought a lightly used Evo in 2006 for 26k. Instead I bought a brand new Evo 8 MR for 35K...39K out the door including LoJack.

Yup, it makes me want to ask "you guys do know the internet exists, right?". However I'm staying silent on that topic, per lawyers advice...

Pretty much over it already after...a day. I don't want a loaded one, just want the base, and a sun roof if available. Called a few other dealers and they already have deposits on their 2017 allocations. Insane.

Just did a search of my local Ford dealer and they have two coming in next month unaccounted for. One is 51k and the other is 53k. I'm sure there will be a premium/mark up on them for sure. 60k+ for a hatchback, NO THANKS!!! Would rather go buy a used, clean GTR.

I wonder how Ford feels about their attainable sports car suddenly becoming unattainable. I also wonder if they'll increase production numbers for 2017.

It's ridiculous. And you can't even dyno the damn thing in AWD.

Yeah.. I'd also have to go with a GTR for that price. From what I can see it laps faster, too. LOL
