Plant retooling
Do we have a rough idea of when production of the current car is gonna end (if it hasn't already)? I ask because Ford keeps saying 'fall 2014' for when the new car is gonna be on dealer lots, and they obviously have to retool the Mustang line at Flat Rock (assuming the Mustang and Fusion are built on different lines, I have no idea one way or the other). For the sake of reference, I believe it took GM about 4 months, give or take, to retool the Bowling Green plant after C6 production ended, so I believe it would take Ford about the same length of time.

Really? That's odd. You'd think there would have been a definite date set by now. Hell, the last of the SN95s were built in May 2004, and the first S197s in June of that year (granted, they were built at two different plants).
