Can’t believe mustang numbers are so low now. I knew they would slow down once all the enthusiasts got what they wanted, but 9 is lower that I expected

The problem at the moment is all S550 production stopped many months ago, any sales from then are simply remaining floor stock or fulfilled orders. No new Mustangs are due till export production of the S650 starts in January next year. S650's were initially expected to be here by now, but delay after delay has pushed that out to next year. I am one of those waiting for my car to be built. As usual for Ford, one of the oldest car companies in the world has big problems rolling out new models.

I'd guess about 2-300. Would have to be fairly similar to the Silverado, based on price. Would lean towards the 300, just because of the popularity and icon status of the F150

An article I saw last month (27-11-23) was saying that around 20 F Trucks a day were being remanufactured.
I was surprised thought that there would be about 300 delivered must have been ramping up production.. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-new...-didnt-change# Quote:

22 hours is seriously impressive - thats nothing, compared to what all the old second stage manufacturers used to take.

I found somewhat of an automotive goodie this month. Instead of paying the rip for new Tojo hybrid SUVs that are in stock, you can have the hybrid with the wagon and pay less as a whole heap of near-new Jap imports are now approved: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...22589752/?Cr=7 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...16098264/?Cr=3 You can even get AWD versions with that dubious electric motor in the back that doesn't really engage when you launch on snow or ice (also on the SUVs lol), but it's the thought that counts...

Mechanic also suggested Isuzu MUX for a long term travel car with an unbustable (diesel) drivetrain. Anyone own one? Is it as uncomfortable as some private reviewers say?

MUX sells on price and the supposed "unbustable" engine. Yet from experience, that engine is not something I would want to sit behind for hours on end, its a truck engine and its presence is always heard and felt. Easily the noisiest engine in the segment, not to mention low output figures.

Should have just called ZF. I also believe the CX inline sixes have rear timing chains if that is an issue down the track. One day I'm going to have to replace our Terri, although as a late 2016 build, 62,000km it's doing ok...but that buying itch does flare up sometimes.

Wheres the appeal of a Recirculux that handles like a bar of soap, or a Hyundai/Kia with a ticking time bomb of an engine? A sleep inducing midsize SUV or an overpriced and impractical electric car? Yes there are decent cars with appeal still around (I really love my new Octavia RS) but none are on that list.

Amazing how many Prados they're delivering at the moment.
For a long time they were capped around 1000 month, but recently jumped to 3000. They must be pulling them from other markets, I know they were popular in Russia.

Momentum is gathering in the political circles over everyone having a fetish for a Thailand Special, an American ute and SUVs, with people pushing for mandatory fuel efficiency standards. The kind of people who take the tram to work. I think its going to be hilarious when the F150 starts pumping more numbers than the lowest cost model in Ford's range (Puma). Quote:
