I would also think it is that Ford doesn't work off the Field of Dreams idea that just because they build something people will buy it.

I've never "ordered" a car in my 40 years of driving. I have bought new from a dealer lot, and all of those 6 new purchases have lost me money. I have lost in buying used as well, but not as bad as buying new. To order a new car, at the very least I'd like to know that the car will be produced in a reasonable time frame.

I'm looking forward to the 2015 Mustang, as I suspect it will produce a frenzy of current Mustang owners to trade in their ride on this new one.

Then I'll be buying my used Boss that I want.
