Start reporting all these cancellations to investor forums.. ?I was thinking the same thing. Your analysis and commentary are right on the spot.
Carmaker1: That is absolutely inaccurate. It doesn't work like that at all, in which at this point in time the interior design would not be finished. Prototype may not represent the exact final configurations (on display), but U725 interior designs have been frozen for more than a year.I don't believe you. The interior design has not been finished as of yet. If you see one in the wild it is a prototype. For those who are not familiar with 2 doors, you have no F'n room if the back seat is in place. The final design may indeed be a fold down, which would work but I would be extremely shocked if the seat was not designed to be entirely removed without any tools.
WSJ will pick it up.Start reporting all these cancellations to investor forums.. ?
Exactly, the Sport has a lot less options, so Bronco owners have more choice and a much more involved configuration. I don’t have a reservation and was going to wait until 2022 anyway. It is a bit haphazard how things are reported but the vehicle is what counts and ina few years looking back this will be forgotten and background noise.To be fair, the Sport configurator is very basic.. You select your model, select the +up package for that model (or not) and then just add towing, 360 sensor, roof rack, etc. There's a dearth of real choice beyond color.
So it's a lot simpler than the potential fleet of options that the full size Bronco has.
And when they start building them let's hope it goes better than their latest Explorer disaster.I won’t be surprised with Ford if ordering gets delayed too... for them that would make sense..
LOL... but what else is there to obsess over when most of us haven’t left the house in weeks for more than groceries or scenery. We’re freakin’ our, man!It's a car. Your dad isn't in the ICU. Your kid didn't just get knocked-up. Your dog didn't just bite a personal injury attorney in the crotch.
It's a car.
Take a deep breath and
re mother-effin lax.
You are correct. Ford is not "listening in" to this Forum to make last minute production changes that take years to plan and implement. Think supply chain. What you are seeing is a hiccup which may be followed by poor smelling gas. This just shows poor management at many different levels.Many posts on this thread thinking the delay might be tied to recent feedback on this thread. Carmaker1 poured cold water on that in a different thread today:

These things have to be decided early on and fully locked in more than a year-and-a-half out to 2 years out at least. Stuff like this isn't happening anymore or do not even expect a launch within the next 18 months. It's already done.
I also really would suggest that people refrain from assuming that something design wise wouldn't be finished, because design freezes do need to be implemented much earlier on than simple stuff like option configurations.
Actually, i don't.but you have a good idea of the Cost so it should t be a huge surprise.
