This. 100% this.
I would love examples of other major companies that do something similar.
Oh you wanted the red macbook air, sorry the one we showed in those commercials isn't an option.
Ah, yes that couch we showed on the showroom floor in beige is just a prototype. We don't actually...
I noticed for the Bronco Sport - all of the DIO's are late availability and I assume the same for most if not all of the big Bronco DIO's. Does that have any impact on vehicle delivery date or do we just take it back to the dealer to get stuff installed when it comes in?
The first option is...
Ah, the elusive unobtanium vehicle that no one can actually buy. I really wish Ford would stop parading this vehicle around as a Bronco, it's nothing more than a concept that no one can actually purchase.
(for clarity I am referring to the white top, white interiors, white door handles, red...
Those all look basically the same to me. No one on the road is going to be able to accurately pick between them. I think Ford is just trying really hard to tie in the navy pier because they know no one wants it.
Maybe I am being optimistic but I hope these dealers get a bit of a shock when they see their reservations plummet at the end of October. Then they will be scrambling with emails and calls to people and I won't feel an ounce of remorse.
That's how I got my 2014 Grand Cherokee from Tysons Koons. 7% below invoice - huge volume group buy that was set up through the jeepgarage forums. I tried to do that with several of the local Virginia Ford dealers and they either didn't respond, said no, or said we can't match Granger/Stevens.
I think if we could get a matched offer from them in writing that doesn't have some crazy out clause language that should suffice. We are putting the same level of trust in Granger and the other dealers offering the same thing.
@lowmpg said in another thread that Apple Ford in Columbia, MD will match any of what the lowest dealers are offering. I haven't spoken with them directly, but may be worth checking out as I am sure this is a lot closer for us mid-atlantic folks looking for a local deal. If we can get something...
Ah yes, the vehicles that are prototypes that no one can apparently actually spec out on their own. If they don't offer these options they really shouldn't be flaunting them all around the country.
"Hey Ford guy, this four door is sweet. What trim and color combo is this? This is exactly what...
Interesting that it is camoed so late in the game. Wonder if it's a new concept like the OBX fishing guide one they showed a few weeks back.
Looks like some extra padding on the rear door panel too...
This guy gets it.
First thing my wife will say when I drive a Navy Pier FE home is..."black and blue should never be paired together unless you are colorblind"
I have a bad feeling there are going to turn this color scheme into a "_____ edition" in year 2022 or beyond and won't give it to us now. However, as others have mentions this is not a (RED) iPhone. I'm not going to flip a $60k vehicle for the latest color scheme a year later. Either show me...
