Thanks! Sad that I'll be leaving the Fiesta community (well, maybe). But after 7.5 years of owning my Fiesta ST, I'm ready for a bit of a change.
My only conundrum - How am I going to transport my kayaks now?!

Yeah, I highly doubt that I could fit a road bike, or a gravel bike with the back wheel still on, into one of those (I loathe putting a multi-thousand dollar ride on a roof rack, and refuse to do so!). ![[:(]](/images/smilies/frown.png "Frown [:(]")
No problem whatsoever with the FiST, especially sans the back seat.

I thought this might an interesting comparison. I don’t know if the link works but it’s from a YouTuber named Zygrene.
Its all over the news now Ford and GM are cracking down on dealers extorting people . Apparently they are not going to stand for the dealer charging people over msrp aka sticker . Those dealers are going to suffer in Ford is going to deny them product if they don’t stop. So basically if they are jacking you around walk.
Though I will say having gone through the order process with Ford it is a 4-5 month situation. I ordered my FiST in early March 2018 and did receive it till mid July of that year.

I apparently scored supply chain issue bingo with my Maverick order (paint, trailer hitch, and bedliner all on back-order indefinitely), so I'm looking at 8-9 months as a best case scenario. At least I was able to get it ordered for under MSRP.
But yeah, the manufacturers are getting into it with dealers over markups right now. I remember when the GT350 came out, we lost a a bunch of allocation spots over ADMs because the GM wanted to make a quick buck, and that was back when they mostly turned a blind eye to that type of thing.
I have exactly zero connections in the Toyota/Subaru world though, so I'm hoping I can get a leg up from CSM's experience.
