I'm not in management, I'm in the Trades. The talk was a little more encompassing than the loss of 10 million per day when we don't build the required units. We need to get past these manufacturing glitches and get back on track. Hopefully the restructuring we have experienced will help us. My first impression of Ken Minielly, he seems to be a "no bullshit" type of guy who is telling us that he is 180 degree opposite of F.G.

I understand it will be the same wait for ALL the vehicles.

Your vehicle is probably built...and when it arrives it will be perfect.. be patient

I work there I know how much trouble Ford is in...but they will be in a helluva lot more shit if they don't get this vehicle right. That's what we are doing, making it right. BTW all car companies have had launches that were delayed.. Better late than recalled.

All 70 Trades were recalled.

Probably not for a couple of weeks...there are some minor issues that have to be worked out..OAC wants to make sure every Edge, MKX is 100%.

You will get answers to ALL of those questions...The new Plant Manager is having meetings with trim and chassis employees right now.

Thats a nice spin to it......I hope he gets promoted to a cornfield.

Can you dumb it down a bit...we poor Autoworkers are having a difficult time following your thought processes.. Thanks in advance

When you buy a new car the contract has the final selling price AND the applicable interest rate....the residuals are also set. Good Luck

Are you saying that you ordered a car and you don't even know how much it will cost???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You get the rate that was posted when you made the deal...it cannot go up...it can go down tho...so you must know what the payments are.

The approval to ship is scheduled for the 2nd week of November, units are being shipped to staging sites. .

No, a better way to look at is ------------IT'S A GOUGE------------- spare me the economics lesson. Yeah it seems as though the bundling of options equalizes the difference.....almost

The strike lasted 2 days and we were not the ones on strike. We have over 20000 units of dealer orders. Be patient, we are not actually shipping saleable units yet.

Thanks for the heads up....I work there :-)

The pricing does not translate too well for those of us in Canada. 32,999 for base SE and 35,999 for FWD SEL.....that's way out of line when you convert USD to Canadian dollars. Should be 29,000 to 32,000 CDN

Enlighten us with a few more palpable details..

They will be there LONG before December..

I don't know how they allocate em...I'm sure that the dealers will be selling the ones they get ;-)

The Edge will be significantly less expensive.

Those are not for sale...they are Pre Production Units.....

Official production started Sept 11.
