That is my understanding as well Centurion07. If you wanted the silver wheels in Europe/UK you had to order the custom pack and (presumably) it will also come with the chrome highlights.
In Aus we don't have a custom pack option. The only relevant option we have is the option to order the...
All the cars I saw in the video that had the chrome window strip also had the lustre nickel finished wheels. So I'm assuming that either those cars were UK spec cars with the custom pack or if your order the lustre nickel wheels you also get the chrome strip instead of the black rubber around...
I think there was some discussion about this before (perhaps in the European or UK section of the site?) but the 'standard' equipment listed on the window sticker isn't accurate for export vehicles so I wouldn't read much into what is listed there. The 'optional' equipment should be accurate...
It does!
It will be interesting to see how frequently cars turn up in Aus. It looks like from now on we can expect a number of Aus spec RHD cars to be produced each week.
Not sure how frequent car shipping is from Baltimore to Aus but I am guessing that Ford is only looking to send out 1...
I now also have my VIN from the dealer. :)
Nothing in COTUS yet but the car does come up in ETIS. Not much information though...

I received the email this morning as well. Nice to see a bit of engagement from Ford!
Will be interesting to see if we are able to track our orders through COTUS. From reading over in the European section it looks like they have been able too.
Can't say I blame him!
All of us here really want this car and are prepared to wait and sit it out, but I do think in this day and age the gap between when the car went on sale in the US to when its going to be available in all other markets is pretty unacceptable.
This version was always...
I agree Melbnut. It does seem strange that some dealers have been informed of delays and others aren't aware of any. I'm assuming that any communications that has taken place from Ford Aus hasn't come through a dealer bulletin or all the dealers would be aligned. No doubt it will all become...
Nadojay, did your dealer give you any explanation for why your delivery date has been pushed back? Assuming based on your order date that you were first in line at your dealer?
I agree Melbnut. Definitely seems like different information/views across the dealer network. I wonder if detailed allocation information has only gone out to certain dealers?
I ordered and put down a deposit in early October 2014. Also then made sure that there were no special conditions...
Worrying thread... I haven't heard anything from my dealer yet. Originally placed my order and put down a deposit in October.
Will call the dealer tomorrow and see what he to say. Not going to be very happy if its Q2 2016.
I was pretty disappointed about this but I'm slowly getting comfortable with having the handbrake on the passenger side. Did a lot of googling over the past few days and was surprised at just how many cars are setup this way and don't get swapped when converting from LHD to RHD and vise versa...
These videos along with other threads in the Euro section suggest that the fog lights are DRLs. I wonder if this will need to be changed for Aus?
I was under the impression that fog lights can only be used in poor weather? Now while these lights might be DRLs and not fog lights (and therefore...
Agree. 2nd gear with the 3.73 seems really short. There is a good video here showing acceleration in the 3.73.
I also spoke to my dealer last week about the special clauses as I had one in there. Have had it removed. The dealer also advised that it is by the end of the month that you need to...

I notice they refer to it as the 16MY Mustang. Wonder if that means it will get any updates that are passed on to the 16MY US Mustangs (e.g. Sync 3)
