Got an email from the leasing company today advising that my order has been moved forward 3 months (I have a GT Deep Impact a Blue on order) and my car will now be built on the 30th of May, which we make it one of the last Deep Impact Blue Mustangs to be built.
Expected delivery is now late...
There is nothing Ford Australia can do to have cars built after 2 June to be built as MY16 and keep the discontinued colours (and SNYC2). The production line (and paintshop) will only be building MY17 cars from the 2nd of June. They (Ford USA) are and will not have MY16 and MY17 being built at...
This is Lightning Blue on the 2017 Ford Escape/Kuga.

All Mustang's built after July will be MY17's. I have a DIB on order with a current delivery of November this year. Given it won't be built until Aug/SEP it will be a MY17 and looks like I will need to select a new colour.
For those in Brisbane, Metro Ford currently have a Guard GT sitting in their showroom, awaiting delivery to an owner up North.
You are able to look at, but didn't bother asking to sit in it as I wouldn't want anyone sitting in mine when it arrives, plus I sat in the yellow GT that was doing the...
Nice, I'm glade I went with DIB. Are your number plates the Flex type or standard as I notice the front plate is bent and appears to be screwed direct to the bumper without a plate holder.
Well that explains why I couldn't see it. My wife wanted magnetic, but I went with deep impact blue.
There are some photos on Metro Ford's Facebook page of cars they delivered last week and they put the ugly front number plate holders on all the cars and they look horrible. Hope you find a...
I might have to swing past Torque Ford tomorrow to have a look.
Update: dropped in there this morning (before they had opened) and no sign on your GT. The area they use for handover of the cars to owners was empty. Perhaps it was hidden out the back, behind the solid fence/gate.
Nice looking car, same colour I'm getting and given you have used NOVA Ford (I'm just down the road) I may get to see your car on the local roads.
How have you attached the front number plate?
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.
Congrats to those getting their cars before the end of the year. I'm sure you will enjoy some great holiday drives in them.
Perhaps they should have done research before writing the article. Ford UK increased their Mustang prices almost 6 months ago. Also when the Australian price was announced earlier this year the AUD was higher against the USD (around 90c), now it's sitting around 72c.
