This is a sign of the times, over the past 8 years, I have changed my daily driver for work, each time I was told by Nissan and Toyota at the time, there was a six month wait as I wanted a particular colour, or I wanted a manual car, so I suspect car companies like other global firms, start supplying to order, rather than have working capital tied up in car yards, In Fords case, it seems its clearly underestimated the global demand, and they cant turn them out quick enough.
