The Ford website shows my cars built on the 4th and shipped on the 11th. They have not dropped yet but should be in soon. As far as paying 59 bucks for an automatic v6, I believe I will be the only company in town with the cars available for rent. Low supply, high demand creates a slight price premium. I currently carry the Mini, and although the car probably is not worth paying 59 bucks a day to rent, most people dont mind. If you have to rent a car, why not try something fun for a few bucks more. Renting is also a great way to test drive a car before you buy.
