According to both Ford and my dealer the car has been completed for approximately one month and is just waiting to be released for shipment. The dealer says that there is no hold on the vehicle.

This will be my first Ford product since 1980 and will be the reason I will be sticking with Honda from now on. My last 2 Honda daily drivers have been the best cars I have ever owned bar none.
According to Ford (contact us) and my dealer, the car was produced several weeks ago and is still waiting to be released from the factory. Ford just told me that the ETA should still be this Saturday....I have my doubts as the car is at Flat Rock and I'm in Houston. Arrrg. I placed my order...
