No one buys a Base GT tho right? I’m surprised they even gave us those 3 options as they weren’t really worth it.Sorry, just over £ 38000 on the road price.
What does that mean? Until Christmas? Until all current models are sold? Until the S650?!Just had a call from a local dealer who said they’ve been notified today that there’s no pricing for the immediate future :-(
If I remember correctly the official order book didn't open until May 15, but the dealers were taking orders for some months prior to that (which then got stuck in a drawer and either processed at the appropriate time or forgotten about, depending on your dealer's level of competence). Pricing was released in Jan 15.I wonder if the official order books will open on the same date as they did in 2015? I.e. mid Jan IIRC. Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Only difference this time is the RHD production will already be underway, rather than waiting 8 months or so before builds start.
Of course, that wont stop the eager few from getting in early and ordering!
I've read that some of the RHD builds (i.e. your March date) are so they can get them in dealers early to ensure there is a product (and again, something new, not the current car) to show people. So in reality, will customer cars already exist since there is a small - but larger than 15/17 cars - options list to worry about?If I remember correctly the official order book didn't open until May 15, but the dealers were taking orders for some months prior to that (which then got stuck in a drawer and either processed at the appropriate time or forgotten about, depending on your dealer's level of competence).

By the looks of it there won't be any cars delivered until at least March 2018, so yet again we'll be the best part of a year behind the US, giving the model year run effectively only 2 years in the UK before all talk is of the S650.
One of the big issues last time was lack of communication and it seems nothing has changed. Still no exact spec, still no options list, still no price. I guess they're trying to shift the last of the MY17's first.

Ford should have learnt a fair bit about selling the Mustang to ensure a slightly easier transition, but I say "should" because they couldn't sell the Focus RS properly so I expect no changes in the real world.
