pkooistra Member 88 Member For: 13y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 28/01/12 10:19 PM Share Posted 28/01/12 10:19 PM I ordered a FG MkII XR6 Turbo manual ute in November. I was originally told to expect delivery late December, then told late January.... Then told that there has been a delay on production of manual turbo utes, but not told why. I'm a pretty reasonable person and would probably be understanding if I actually knew why there has been such a delay. Does anybody on these forums work at Ford that could explain what's going on?

pkooistra Member 88 Member For: 13y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 29/01/12 09:39 AM Author Share Posted 29/01/12 09:39 AM I ordered mine in Silhouette with the luxury pack.There are four turbo manual ute demos listed on carsales. I just don't understand if they could make those four, why can't they make mine?!!!That sucks about your wife's car too. Makes you wonder what the hell they're doing at the factory.I emailed the dealer a little earlier today asking her to find out from Ford if I will have my ute before the end of Feb, if not I'll be cancelling my order.
