One interesting observation is that we get split rear seats, which i believe the convertibles in the US did not get

I signed my contract end of Feb...so not too far off from your date. Vista had, a couple of weeks back, given me a build date (segmentation date) of 11th of Nov, however that now seems to have slipped to the 30th of Nov :( I do, like most of us now, have a VIN number and an ETA of Feb.

Much time has passed, I am older...albiet not much wiser and am still holding out and believing the car will show up some day ! In the meantime I thought I'd check if anyone had received sight of their "Window Stickers", I'd love to see what it lists out and how it compares with the fastback...

I dont even know where to start....and more importantly prevent the post from becoming a rant. Ok...so lets take a step back..let's look at Ford Motor company Australia. For all practical purposes, now relegated to a reseller, but a large organsition which sells cars in Australia through...

My take is that the Vista ETA is the ETA for it being in the docks in the US ready to ship to Australia ! So add in another 4 weeks till delivery to Australia.....

:) Which is why I was hoping there was someone lurking in the forums, from the dark side, who'd be able to help !

Order was placed in Feb 2015, supposed to go into segmentation in November....... I believe you can track the record in VISTA using the stock number and then once u're in the VISTA screen, it tells you whether or not you have a VIN number.

Hi...am trying to get the latest status on my order. Unfortunately pings to the Ford on FB and my dealership has not yielded in any updates. Anyone on the forum have access to Vista, who can check the status based on the stock number I have, please PM me !! It would be greatly appreciated.

I do hope you get some response back. And adding to all of this...as you pointed out...Ford has lost an excellent opportunity to create a real shift in how it positions itself in the market and engages with it's customers. Ford does not have a Lexus, R, Acura, M or AMG brand. The Mustang...

Hey Jostang...gather u've ordered a convertible. When did you place the order and what's the expected build date and ETA in Australia ? What spec have u gone for ?

Why the 2015 model ? or was it sarcasm that I was missing the point of ? In terms of the seatbelts...any insights into what the issue was ?

yes... I did realise that the covers were missing in the US and most dealers had no idea about it either. Hey I do have one question though around the safety....most of the other convertibles have some kind of a roll over bar over the rear seats etc. The newer cars have one which pop up...

Anything else on the Convertibles. I know we have some US grey imports that have started trickling in...but any official ETA's ??

And there is another thing to consider...did some digging around and the LHD light units are focused differently... so yes u could plonk them on the RHD cars...but they would dazzle the oncoming traffic and you would have less light on the left side. In the UK and Europe you can get done in for...

Guys...am reaching out from the land down under to check if you've had any convertibles that have gone into production or better still landed on your shores yet ! I have been hearing rumors over here that there have been issues with the convertibles....and they are currently running a two month...

yes...I have heard the 2 months issue too. From what I have researched it could be down to one of two issue.. The first being them not managing to get homologation around the seatbelts...no convertibles have hit or have gone into production for Europe till date. And the second seems to be...

Does anyone have an idea of how many convertibles have been preordered ?

thnks..I have been told that convertible production will commence 2 months after the RHD fastback. Has that changed ?

Any news on the convertibles ? Any news on the convertibles ?

Anyone heard anything about what's happening with production for the convertibles ? There are a number of rumours doing the round and I reckon we need a seperate thread for the convertible
