    Ford's GT Application Process Will Be Screening Possible Owners

      Not Everyone Will Be Able To Buy A Ford GT

    With 250 Ford GTs up for grabs at the end of this year, Ford is going to make sure they go those buyers who have the passion and will drive them.

     

    The Detroit News reports that when Ford launches their site to apply to purchase the GT, there will be an extensive vetting process. To start, buyers will need to sign a document stating they will own the vehicle for a certain time - this to prevent an owner to quickly flip their GT for a nice profit. Then comes the application process which will take a bit of time and include questions such as how many Ford models they have owned, how active they are on social media, and how much they plan to drive it.

     

    “There’s a loyal following to the car. We want to prioritize people who are going to care about the car, keep the car and drive the car,” said Raj Nair, Ford’s product chief.

     

    If you are one of the lucky few who get approved for the first batch of GTs, you get VIP treatment throughout the process of building and be able to finish the purchase at a certified dealer.

    • I feel like they've finally fixed their design language with this, though its almost a new round of neo-retro like we had in the early 2000s with the PT Cruiser, Neu Beetle, HHR, etc.
    • Windows 11 ... Ok, the laptop was upgraded from Windows 10.   There were a couple of power offs and restarts.  Once I got onto the Microsoft Installation Assistant, it went smoothly. Interfaces and dialogue boxes are a little more user friendly. Here's the deal.  I had about 45 GB free before I started the upgrade.  I understand that Windows 11 takes up about the same amount of space as 10.  I've seen posts where people complain that it has taken up a larger amount of disk space than they had before.  The answer comes back that the system drive is temporarily "borrowing" this surplus of space and we'll be giving it back over time.  Is this plausible?  Duplicate files?  How long to get the extra GBs freed up? Thanks.
    • https://insideevs.com/news/784657/china-ev-tariff-canada/   https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/what-is-in-canada-s-trade-agreement-with-china-9.7049082   “We’re building a new part of our car industry, building cars of the future in partnership, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector”       Details: Canada will tariff Chinese EVs at 6.1% instead of what it was which was 100% The first year, there is a limit of 49 000 cars to enter Canada but each year the limit will increase to 70 000 cars by the 5th year.  Prime Minister Carney said this is a deal that: "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector"    Ontario leader Dougie Ford has negatives to say about it...forgetting though that GM usa, FoMoCo usa and Chryco usa voted for tariffs and Canadian built cars. trump also said that he does nor want, americans do not need Canadian cars...   So he is kvetching for nothin' about on Carney's side and bitchin' at the wrong tree... He should realize that certain shytty americans do not want Canadian anything, let alone automobiles.   PHOQUE the usa!!! PHOQUE americans!!!  The bolded CAPITILIZED words "NEW" and "PARTNERSHIP" quoted by Carney but  assumed by me may mean that and Im speculating here, reading into something that may NOT exist, that if and when Chinese EVs are a success sales wise in Canada and the plants that produce GM, Ford and Chrysler cars in Ontario do close down for a myriad of reasons, MAYBE Chinese factories manufacturing these EV will be on Canadian soil... "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP...doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition" Takes a lot of reading between the lines...     But maybe there is nothing there also...    Anyway you slice it though, not good for the us auto industry in the long term. Especially when GM and Ford have no choice but to putz around in the us/Canada market. And since neither of them have any sort of global presence of any significance...   Well...PHOQUE THEM!!!
