Obviously... ;) :cheers:

This chart isn't correct...

The 7580 January 2016 is correct, but January 2015 was 8694, not 10,195.

That's average sales per month by year reflected on the chart. Since we're only two months of sales data into calendar year 2016, what's wrong with the chart?

I think maybe it's misleading, then. Like you said, we're only two months in. 7580 is the exact sales figure for January 2016, not an average of January and February, much less an average of 12 months. If the rest of the years are an average of monthly sales, they're drawing from 11 other months - many of which are the spring/summer months, that we all know account for more sales. I don't think you can show 2016 on this chart only having sales info for one month and call it apples to apples.

I thought this was a performance thread?

My model / brand sold more than your model / brand.

All the rage at the watercooler races these days. I got my stats on lock, I whip out my phone with google docs and flex on fools.

Damn, thats a huge decline in sales.

Not really seeing a decline there. Are you looking at the 2016 sales figure and expecting winter averages to be the same as summer/full year?

Obviously, the Mustang is still a hit in its current form (UK sales are crazy and Australia orders are full thru 2017 MY, I think), but it's performance is lacking as a whole.

I chose to say something about Motorweek because hey actually placed the Mustang 3rd behind the Challenger, which to me says a whole lot about the need to take weight out of the car, boost the power and make those darn Recaros a little more accommodating for American frames.

The Mustang was the best on track, but suffered horrendously in every day comfort due to the Recaros.

The 2016 model year run is pretty much done. 2017s start in about a month.

Two more full months of production ahead (april, may).

I'm not convinced that the issue is due to the recaros themselves. It may be more a matter of matching the correct seat to the correct body type. IMO, the recaros, especially those in the GT350, are a major selling point.

Not saying that you are not right but is this something that has been confirmed by Ford or just speculation?

With the 2017MY order banks opening up in two weeks I would have thought that maybe that production for the 2016MY may be shorter this year?

:shrug:

I was thinking of ordering my 2016 next month with the recaros. Im not a large guy nor am i a twig. Im 6'0 190-205lbs. 36-38 waistline. Hmm.

I'm 6'4 220 34" waist and the recaros were snug, but very comfortable to me. I think you'd be fine!

How much different are the Recaro's from the GT PP to the GT350? I'm average or so to say. About 210lbs and 6'1" and I love them in my PP. I just did a 1200 mile round trip and thought they were great!?
