2 and 3 are of real interest pending price as they really set the 18 options apart from the 17. No digi dash is interesting I thought it'd be a no brainer as it's a straight l to r shift. Would be good to see market research results unless it wasn't deemed necessary due to niche market.

Interesting to see how oil coolers and evaps go.

The digital dash and quad exhaust is standard in Aust version.

Hi Bob/Lockwood. What is meant by orders needed to be confirmed by the 17th and the 20th. I have not heard this from my dealer (Sunshine Ford). I cancelled my MY17 order in February this year after 10 months wait and kept my deposit in place for the MY18. I understand that I am 7th in order locally. I was told that the official order books would not open until about March next year.

Order books have opened. Ford Aust want the first allocations from dealers by 20th Dec, Production of these orders will commence in March with delivery of July 2018. Ford is delivering 1,000 cars in July, 950 in August, 900 in Sept, 850 in Oct etc. for a total delivery of 4,500 cars by the end of 2018. As I posted earlier, I've seen the letter from Ford to the dealerships. Official launch of the car is July 2018. Prices haven't been released yet so ordering the options is a bit of a gamble. Initially I ordered the Recaros but have been told they could cost an additional $3,000- 4,000, but at that price I cancelled them.
If I knew how to attach the letter, I would

Daniel at Sunshine Ford said that they may not be having an info night like last time. Although maybe that MY18 spotted in Melbourne earlier will be doing the rounds.

Just spoke with dealer, they are expecting actual price in March 18. Gt auto with magnaride expected to be circa 83-85k driveway.

That is just way way too much for this car. I think my next car is going to be a cla or rs3 if these prices are correct

I got a call from Ford today, asking if I wanted to put a deposit down on the new 2018, they are talking $80-85k. This really pushes the mustang into territory it is not cut out for, there is no way you should be buying a mustang over a CLA45, RS3.

The fit and finish of the 15-17 Mustang's was sub-par at best, the manual gear box was abysmal, far too many issues for a $60k car, now they will raise the price to $80-85k who are they kidding?

Based on these numbers I'd also expect the remaining stock of 2017's to firm in price
