Correct. We bought an escape in April but it's a 2020 build. Most sales are just old stock being cleared. Dealer isn't expecting more stock until end of year. Same story at all dealers.

True, we've been waiting 7 months for an Escape Vignale...dealer has offered full refund if I wish to cancel so not sure what to do...then again, I've ordered electric seat base and backrest heaters for our Territory's front seats which go in this Tuesday.

What’s your point? Multicultural demographics has very little to do with the cars available
