No, I don't work for Ford. I work for a large newspaper and broadcasting conglamorate. The US auto industry isn't the only ones having financial trouble. Ad revenue for print and broadcasting have been flat or have declined in the 3rd quarter of this year. This thread was the decline of...

I just wanted to add my comments on what happened to me. I had my '06 Mustang GT ordered back in late July. Everything was going as promised. The day before my salesman called to tell me I could come down and purchase my car, my corporate headquarters released a press release stating that they...

For those who are in the know: If my order has been serialized and locked into production, can my order be "given" away to a dealer with a higher allocation? I'm just wondering because my ETA keeps getting pushed back. Thanks.

Sweet! Can't wait for the pics!

No gripes here dude. :shrug:

Hey bowtiesblow, if the CTS/V design isn't dated why is Bob Lutz's croonies changing the design to "soften the lines" for the '07 model? I read this on Edmunds. GM has NOTHING to compete with the '05 Stang as far as price range or popularity. I have trolled on both GM and Caddy lots and they...

Hey there EastCoastStang, thanks for keeping us updated on the road trip and gas mileage. As the gas prices keep climbing, it's good to know what type of gas mileage a long distance road trip likes your would turn up. I'm stuck here in Cali for a while and won't be hitting the road like you for...

Very, very cool! You entered a broad catagory which I assume you had some pretty stiff competition and nailed a 1st place finish huh? Wow, that goes to show you that Ford again and again has hit a homerun with the '05 Mustang. Congrats.

Wow, that was fast. Congrats! I ordered mine a day after you ordered yours so I'm guessing it won't be long.

I feel your frustration, but what impresses me the most is you still have faith with the Ford product regardless of the hassles you have gone through. I've read other posts from members here that have consistant problems who are switching to brand X. I think Ford fans are truly one of the most...

Good points GusinCA. I was considering the CTSV as my next ride but I couldn't even get a test drive when the CTSV came out. Most of my local dealers had a 10K mark up from MSRP. IMO, the angled look is dated. The '05s have a $1,300 gas guzzler tax to boot. $52K new $37K used? Why not buy a "Vette?

Hopefully for those GM/Caddy fans, the improvements would include a more durable rear end. I've lurked a while on the CTSV boards and read a lot of complaints about the glass rear end and bad wheel hop. IMO, nice four door but not as sexy as the '05 Stang.

Thanks R.I.C.K - I just called the number. My order is locked into production for the week of 9/12 and ETA to the dealership is 9/26! :cheers:

I tried to get my VIN# from my dealer so I can track the progress with the help from the good folks at blueovalforums and this is what my salesman emailed back: From what I have been told is that ONLY a select group of entities can have the authority to "track" the assembly progress. These...

Very nice. Is this the results after your horrific rear ender?

My order was received by Ford on 7/28/05. The assembly plant picked up my order on 8/18. When I found this out , I called the Vehicle Order Processing Center (800-962-3746) the next day and the robot lady told me that I was serialized on the same day (8/18). The build week at that time was 9/5...

Very nice color. I haven't seen this particular color in my neck of the woods. Congrats!

I glad you and your family are okay. Thanks for the update. My prayers go out to those who weren't as lucky.

My donation to the Salvation Army is on the way.

I have had my '06 on order since late July and I did anticipate higher gas prices but not at this current rate or circumstances. I wonder how much bargaining strength I have with my dealer when my car does finally arrive and gas prices make owning a V8 is less affordable? I was quoted MSRP and I...
