Hands Up all the Aussies

[West Aussie]

Good feedback…did you have an order in before the test drive or just placed?
If you have just placed your order what was the timeline they gave you for arrival??

Nah, just placed. I refuse to preorder anything not out in the wild that I can't test myself.
12 months was quoted as a safe time frame, which is what works for me due to some other things happening over the next 12 months.

At least they didn’t tell you three months like some dealers…

Looks like they forgot the top coat? Or do people get this colour so it's easy to repaint?

It does remind me of what the rust repair patches looked like when I was younger.

Think that's why is appeals to me; the nostalgia of driving primered cars around as a youngster before I could afford to get the paint job finished.

As good as reason as any

Luxury!!!

I dreamed of priming my car! I didn’t even have the money to do that and aspired to owning a primed torana.

Glad things have changed

Well everyone has a type. And maybe the gray looks better in person?

For my part, my wife will not allow a new gray vehicle in our driveway. And I made mistake of showing her the recent Jay Leno show with the gray Z, which did not impress. So from now on, I only show her blue or red Zs.

 

[loudsx]

so that Z went back up

but the very interesting thing is the lsited build date

if that is correct they should ahve 6 months worth of back stock?
(other other one listed is a claimed June build date.

Only if they've had enough parts to complete them.
My ongoing theory is they have lots of cars at close to completion, but are awaiting some hard to get final components. Thus the trickle of vehicles.

I am sure it does. I was in a Harley dealership on the weekend and a few new ones in a similar grey. Looked pretty good in the flesh.

Probably good if the NSW one does.

Clearly has no taste with that windscreen sticker on the Dodge...
