I'm sure Ford can empathize with your deprivation. First the UAW spills the beans on a new model a year ahead of your intended PR release, then a global pandemic that halts the assembly of your production line (not to mention the work stoppages of the third-party OEM parts providers) spoils your schedule. Millions of dollars lost, and additional millions in unpredictable cost overruns. Go on record as suspending dividends from your stock. Meanwhile, whiny Internet critics piss and moan about the color options, drink holders, and their perceived ill-timing/naming/capabilities of an otherwise unrelated vehicle in the product line.
I can see how that pales in comparison to not being able to Uber to the dealer and come home a couple hours later with a new $40-$60+k vehicle. It's like they methodically planned everything just to torture us, get us angry with them for not providing our new toy on schedule in the face of unprecedented conditions. It's probably a marketing trick to drive up demand. Or, their pension fund is secretly invested in Fiat and they want to piss everyone off to drive them to buying Wranglers and spike Fiat stock.
The local Honda dealer here has a bunch of CR-V's in stock - if anyone wants me to drop by there and reserve one in their name, let me know. They even have them in green, and with top options galore.
