Great Job!!!

There is no doubt in my mind Legend Lime is for me!!!!

 

Zaino is gonna work like a champ on that colour

 

We'd run out of money at the strip clubs? Or we'd blow up because we ate too much poutine? Or they trash the place when they win the stanley cup?

j/k....its very nice, I've been there. My mother was born there as well. [/b][/quote]
haha, good points. but we're so far away from the hockey season!

But seriously, they should show off the mustang here, cause all the F-bodies used to be built here, so ford should really rub it in. That plant seems to be empty now, they could probably rent it out and hold a special '05 mustang show off event in the parking lot or something.

Montreal's a great time in the summer cause we have so many festivals. GM sponsors the Jazz Festival which brings in about 2 million visitors or something crazy like that, so we all get to see plenty of Chevy Equinox's and Rendezvous on display, oh baby.
Ford sponsors the FrancoFolies Festival which is a much smaller french music festival, but i'll have to check it out to see if they've got an '05 on a stand somewhere.

Was there any talk about how soon after the US gets the stang we can expect to see it on Canadian dealers?

 

Don't quote me, but I think Canadian dealers can expect stangs beginning to middle November. Pete/Steve, you guys remember if I'm right?

 

October/November dan...

I heard the it was like around 500 stangs for canada in those 2 months.
Just under ...like 483 or something.
I'll check my email later.

 

I think dealers will have one or two on the lot for show and not for sale, but I doubt orders will start rolling in before Nov.

 

You'll see them..just depends on which dealer, what they ordered and if they could order it.

 

The car was a preproduction GT

Every piece on it is a production piece.. they are currenlty doing a pilot build of 100 cars, with a run of 50 already built. this car was built only a few days before the show. Apparantley a lot of these pilot build cars will be "media cars" for testdrives, etc. [/b][/quote]
Thanks,

Looks like me and Brad will drive the media Mustangs for the Mustang press B)

 

Forgiven...LOL
At least it's good to know it was on your minds, thanks guys for the great article.

Roger & out...

 

Some local dealers I have contacted said they have allocation for 6 to 8 Mustangs for october/nov.

looks like small-town dealers won't see as many cars in the first run in Canada

 

everything is always for sale

 

The above statement was made in the starting post. My question to anyone that knows, what is AAI...?

 

AAI - Auto Alliance International (i think thats what the 'i' stands for )
Flat Rock Plant
Joint plant for Ford/Mazda
Where the new mustang is built

(the pre05s were built at the DAP (Dearborn Assembly Plant)

 

OK, then that confirms that Ford dropped the ball. With a 2" taller tire than the previous 10 years of Mustangs, the tall tire will make the cars wheels look small. Ford should have planned to run 18" wheels on the GT's as rolling stock, not an option.

I bet within 3 years we see Ford move to 18" wheels as GT standard equipment when they see how many cars get ordered with them. The 17" wheels should be only optional for V6 equipped car, as the V6's are usually driven more by people less concerned about performance, but like the look and feel of the Mustang.

At least we know that there are no mechanical or braking issues that will prevent a 2005 Mustang owner from upgrading to custom/aftermarket 18"+ wheels, which many have expressed interest in doing.

I was thinking about getting an '05 Mustang, but I may wait an extra year to get more goodies for my money on the '06.

 

Correct.

And the Cougar and the Probe used to be built at AAI

 

Hey kn7671 Hi Noticed your from Arlington

 

How did Ford drop the ball on having a taller tire?
All this talk about it being taller, skinnier etc...

Well the car will handle well (235s aren't bad)
they are all season sport, which some people may not like because of course they are racing their cars 1320 feet to work in under 14 seconds
And the taller tire fills the gap, while being a mustang that will WAY outhandle previous generations on wet, dry and snow...

Yeah, thats dropping the ball.

 

I was gone for a while, busy like heck, got a virus, computer crashed 3 times, had to change the CD drive, but you just made my day guys, relly proud of you two...really great job! Merci beaucoup

 

It was our pleasure...

Glad to see you back Daniel

The dealer I ordered from said they were allocated 5 for the first run. I was the second order for them, so they only have three left.
