Its not that they can't have better panel fit, its that Ford believes the amount better fit would add to the price would lose more sales than the bad fit does. Are they right? I don't know, but it wasn't a toss of the coin decision. They have reason to believe it. Remember, every one on this forum and every other Mustang buyer still bought the car. Some live with it, some get it fixed after the sale, but they still buy them. So personally, I blame all the rest of you for my poorly fitted panels. If you all had higher standards, my car would be perfect. ;)If you pay $50K it's a $50K car. You know, when I heard here about panel fit issues I didn't take people's word for it. I went down to a few large dealers and found about 25% of the cars on the lot had some body defect that would justify a run through a body shop, or a QC hold prior to leaving the factory. Most of the time it was the front fascia or rear bumper alignment, sometimes the hood. It boggles my mind that in 2017 all panels don't just fit, period. Go to a Toyota/Honda dealer. It doesn't matter if you are looking at an $18000 Corolla/Civic or a $50000 loaded Highlander/Pilot, the panels all just fit. I guess that's why so many Ford execs lost their bonus last year. Maybe this year will see improvement.
