Default Playing The Waiting Game (New Fords)

Not having much luck when it comes to ordering a new car from Ford, waiting on a FG XR6T 50TH anniversary model, it was supposed to go down the line last We Wednesday the 21st that was the date given when I ordered the vehicle, update Friday I was told it didn't happen now its heading down the line now 9th of August, I am waiting for a call for the next set back…
In the mean time I get to drive a 1980 front wheel drive Gemini and it’s not very pleasant to drive.

Anyone else waiting for a car or had some decent set backs when placing an order for a new Ford?
It appears the time frames Ford gives are never on the money…

I hear all customers waiting for LPG cars are experiencing big delivery delays even though the cars are sitting at dealers ready to go they can’t be released because of exhaust issues.

My history last 7 years and new Fords.

2003 had to wait 4 ˝ months for a BA XR8 Ute, because of delays problems with Automatics transmissions for the V8, many months late..
2005 waited approx 2 months; delay was quality paint issues at FPV, few weeks late.
2008 Ford Fiesta in stock no delay, wife was happy..
2009 Ford Focus no stock 6 to 8 weeks of the ship, my dad was OK with this as it was almost on delivery date target, 1 week late.
2010 FG XR6T Ute 50TH anniversary, ????
