Hi all again, Well I finally got my xr6t after threatening to cancel the order at the Ford dealer. But of course it isn't without problems. Firstly, they didn't put the car mats in like I asked but I did received them. Am I right in assuming I need to cut holes in the carpet to screw the floor mat hooks into the floor? This seems pretty silly because there's no markers on the carpet indicating where the holes underneath it are. I don't want to be slicing up my carpet trying to find these holes. Secondly, it appears the iPhone 4 is not entirely compatible with the entertainment system through the cable... it shows up as unsupported. You can still play music (need to press play on the iphone to get it started) and skipping songs works through the steering wheel button, but you don't get the song details on the display unit. The other thing I found insanely stupid was that the cable is only for playing music and the bluetooth is only for making calls. Why don't they add blue tooth audio by default? Craziness! I'm pretty surprised about how much I'm enjoying this car and its power. I didn't think I'd have as much fun in a car as I do on my motorbike. But the first corner I took after driving the car out of yard I gave it a tickle and the traction control went mental. I don't think I'd be enjoying this as much if I bought an auto.... the manual is heaps fun. Going to try launch control or whatever it's called this weekend.... sounds like it needs to be dry though. :D

Ok I'll ask him today, what can I do with it though? (Pretty sure I can't back out of this deal now in hopes of getting the new model)

I got the FG for $45k with the luxury pack though. Doubt I'd get near that with the new model.... even without the luxury pack.

Thanks for the pic Dillz. The dealer hasn't given me anything other than a receipt for my deposit. All it has is a model number and dealer reference number.

Hi all, A while back I ordered a XR6T sedan with the luxury and at the time I was told "You can still change options on it, if you put a deposit down we can secure the exact one you want".... so I ordered it in the colour I wanted and in manual. I was told it's be *maximum* 5 weeks. About 3 weeks in I was told my car was getting sprayed and it'd be ready on the 5th or 10th of September... apparently 'Ford have two computer systems and no one knows which gives the correct information'. Those dates then turned into the 8th and 17th... and now I'm being told they have no idea when it'll be ready because they can't source the luxury pack wheels. They've BS'ed me so many times over the last month I don't know what to believe... Can a car enter production without all the parts available? is it possible for a car to be sprayed then 4 weeks later they're unable to find wheels for it? Are they able to give me a set of temporary wheels so they can honour their delivery date then switch over to the correct wheels once they come in? Has anyone else ordered the XR6T with the luxury pack and are also waiting on the wheels? (btw, I don't even know what the luxury pack rims look like, I get conflicting information.... anyone got a pic to confirm them?) Am I being taken for a ride? Thanks!
