Cancel your order and use the money to buy a one way ticket out of the USA....I don't want a guy with your bad attitude towards America driving a Mustang anyway. Why don't you move on out....you won't be missed... :usa:

Yeah screw this I want the 18G option for the trim and the message center, the color deal is cool. But since there is no other option to get the trim bezels, door sills etc and the message center minus the color changing lights I guess we are screwed.
darn IT FORD :bang: :bang: EXACTLY why I NEVER BUY AMERICAN
I might just cancel my order, as it seems I will not get the car I want anyways and just go buy a stupid 350Z.
The 05 COULD have been a major hit, but if I still get janked around on this I am going to do everything in my powers and ability to ensure that at least for now that 05 Mustang sales take a dive.
Pissed at stupid American incompetence, wake up Ford you need to hire a real marketing team. This is such a major F'k up that I am sure your customer satisfaction rating is going to go in the toilet.

[/b][/quote]Stangfriik, Don't call him a GI Joe, that is a slam on the great soldiers we have serving our country. They put their rear portions on the line every day.
Most of them wish they had something as trivial as color-changing gauges in a car to worry about, instead of wondering if the next car they see is packed with explosives and being driven by a piece of camel dung.
They're defending everyone's right to express themselves.... REX. I'm sure you already have you're car, as I do, but I haven't forgotten how frustrating it was waiting with limited information.
That being said. Nosferatu, you need to fr*ggin chill out. My country isn't responsible for your dissatisfaction with Ford.

TomServo92 has a good point which was brought up before. We are only speculating this is due to MyColor. Yes, the lawsuit issue makes MyColor the logical choice but without concrete evidence we're just spinning our wheels. Ford completely revamped their website yesterday and during that extensive overhaul left in the MyColor interactive demo and all IUP related features.
Public facing they're selling it, dealer facing they're not allowing it (temporarily). Maybe they will offer it again in February as they state in the e/m.

I'm waiting for IUP just like many of us, but I don't like the blame America rhetoric that some folks use...The USA is the greatest country in the world and I will also use my free speech to defend it....
now back to topic...the silver lining in the IUP mess/delay/holdup just might be a car that has many of it's first year bugs worked out of it before many of us take delivery! Hey if it's a 05 or as late as an 06 I'll wait and I'll try to stay positive because it's really not that big of a deal when all else is put into perspective.
God Bless our Troops and God Bless America.....Merry Christmas Everyone!

I didn't call my dealer I went down and looked at the computer.I had a build week of 12-13-04, now it says that it has a ETA of 12-28-04.I hope to have it and driving it before the 31st.
I hope you get you deal worked out.I know what it's like to wait for a car. My 94 took a little more than 4 months to come in.This one if it gets here when they say will be just over 3 months from the time I ordered.

yeah I am sure its was build week 13th of December/ production schedule date 12/15
But it got rolled back and status changed to "submitted to plant" instead of scheduled on line.
Like I said all IUP orders that were not rolled out the gate (according to the fleet manager and the FORD ORDER System have been reversed.
Anyone who had a IUP car and was scheduled to be built this week, please call your dealer and report back what the dealer says.
And REX I am just mad at the way Ford is handling this right now. They should have had more advanced planning in regards to the MY COLOR option and they should have had a backup plan in case something went screwy with Delphi.
IUP-Lite Code 18R is crap compared to what 18G offers, the 6 gauges, the message center the trim pcs etc.
18R is just the wheel spokes and the console trim from what I have seen.
I was saying that because you do not see a Import Company that rolls out a product only to have to pull it back because their "marketing" department did not do a good enough job testing the acceptance or demand for a specific "new" feature.
It, just like the quality in the 80's and early 90's seemed lacking and only 80% (if that) completed.
Had the Ford Marketing people done a better job and both researching this feature for problems (in this case possible legal problems) and the expected demand they would have prepared themselves better to roll out the 05 without these kind of production problems.
I am a red blooded white boy born and raised in America but I think Corporate America is so used to just giving us the shaft and it is starting to really **** me off.

WOW!! this sounds like a nightmare -- I would have still been waiting if i didn't say "screwdriver' my dealer & pick the exact same thing I had on order off the lot... I really feel for you guys still on the waiting list.
But look at it this way. There's no official word that it has to do w/ the lawsuit - so maybe it's just a part shortage + the plant sutdowns... :scratch: it might just take a little while to get things back up & running.

All Ford has to do is quickly come up with a reduced price version of the 18G with all the aluminum trim and 6 guages, but without the MyColor feature. It is that simple. Why they packaged both of these options together is beyond me.

all jokes aside.. I 2nd that -- If Delphi is supplying Ford w/ the "MyColor" feature then Delphi is at fault for the patent infringement. Ford in turn is the innocent bystander who's left holding the bag - because the option is in their vehicle which is already on the streets. Worse case scenario is that "MyColor" gets pulled. Ford has to cough up some cash to ol' buddy & Delphi kisses Fords hiney for the rest of eternity for imploding a couple years of hard work & lots of money spent.
But then again... there is no solid confirmation that this is what's causing the delay.
