Months ago I noticed the poor panel fit on a number of them that various friends (and a neighbour) own. They're all "early" delivery ones though - they got them in the first couple of allocations. Dealers had to fix up poorly lined up bonnets, but other panels are just as bad and weren't fixed.
I've only looked at one recent one up close (delivered about a month back) and it's much better - so I was of the assumption that they'd sorted them out. This one you saw at Supercheap - if it's a recent delivery - doesn't bode well for consistent quality. If Ford AU let vehicles out of Broadmeadows with the same poor finish, they'd be crucified in the media. |

My mate who works at a Ford dealer has had to do all sorts of tightening/fixing/adjusting to the few mustangs that have come through the door. Apparently one of them didn't have the heater box behind the dash bolted in and it was just sitting there waiting to fall out!
Always been against very early production run cars - even the best factories need to iron out kinks! |

What's with the punctuation criticism?
What's with the 'And your point is....'? Why are people so unkind? |

It isn't a matter of kindness or other forms of empathy, a thread on the matter already exists. There is no requirement for a redundant thread.

The yanks wanted Falcon dead so they can give us their evidently quality mustangs instead of taking on an import.

Sloppy assembly quality gets sloppily assembled commentary. Seems fitting.

I'd put good money on it that the OP isn't any older than about 23. Seems to be the way with the younger ones when they talk, text. Not much sense, no punctuation, these are the ones that will work on your car, break it because they know everything and can't be told and then turn around and blame you somehow.

Propper grammar is the difference between 'helping your uncle jack off a horse' and 'helping your Uncle Jack off a horse'.
