That explains why my delivery date change last Saturday when I looked it up? Ugh

 

[Sid]

Well…since I just got my VIN last week…… I am assuming me. Noooooooo!

 

[Praehotec]

Hmmmm....it appears I will be looking forward to mine coming in June rather than the end of May now....

Yeah my delivery date changed from 11/20 to 11/25 so I guess that makes sense... Honestly they shouldn't be punishing those of us that ordered before September when they fell! We had nothing to do with the sales crashing. Chevy is a whole different animal though from my experience with 2 orders in the past 8 months. The Grand Sport was Ordered, Built and delivered in 8 weeks. The '17 Yukon Denali loaded to the gills that we ordered for my wife was supposed to be here around the end of Nov yet I get a call yesterday that it's almost off the line and the dealer will see it by the end of this month!!! What's going on that they can't keep up the pace on the Mustang? From what I understand when GM gets a Customer Order they get pushed to the front of the line ahead of any dealer stock orders. Seems to be correct to me... But again I know we're not talking about a Taurus or SUV here.

Nooo... Today is supposed to be my build day. Darn it.

 

[Bcobb85]

My delivery date actually moved up from 11/25 to 11/17...weird.

 

[K code]

My delivery also moved up from 11/23 to 11/18.

 

[tomcatv8]

My delivery stayed the same, 11/01.

Maybe, now the folks at the Romeo engine plant will have time to build engines for those awaiting replacement. :shrug::(

 

[crazymayhem]

Mines still at estimated delivery date 11/13.....

 

[Jumpman]

Mine still shows Nov 8. It was Nov 12 when it first showed up in cotus but it moved up a few days when the status changed to "in production" last week. Since then, no change...

A cut and paste from the OP's link:
"Camaro overtook Mustang last month for the first time since October 2014 on the strength of incentives that more than tripled last month to $3,409 per car, compared with an average discount of $2,602 on the Ford pony car, according to data from researcher J.D. Power obtained by Bloomberg."

Didn't see any reference to ADMs...

Incentives makes a HUGE Difference, "believe me" ; ) . GM had to offer incentives as they where competing with the strong Mustang sales. Now ford will have to do the same.
