Pioneer Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mesquite is about three hours away. You do realize that you have to post a picture of it when it arrives, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Fixed! I knew I'd forget one or two products. Think I got all of the plants building US product. All but Kocaeli, Turkey--the plant that builds the Transit Connect. No idea what its abbreviation is. Transit Connect is built in Spain. (Now - Was Turkey) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 OAC : Oakville Assembly Complex. Formerly OAP - Oakville Assembly Plant and OTP - Ontario Truck Plant - Edge, MKX, Flex, MKT DTP : Dearborn Truck Plant. This is the assembly plant currently operating at the Rouge Complex - F150 MAP - Michigan Assembly Plant. Formerly MTP - Michigan Truck plant and WAP - Wayne Assembly Plant. - Focus, CMax FRAP - Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Previously, this was called "AAI" from "Auto Alliance International", when Mazda and Ford had a joint ownership stake. - Mustang, Fusion CAP - Chicago Assembly (this abbreviation is used less often on the forum, the plant is usually called "Chicago" here) - Taurus, MKS, Explorer KCAP - Kansas City Assembly Plant - Line 1 - F150 - Line 2 - Transit HMO - Hermosillo Assembly Plant - Fusion, MKZ CUAP - Cuautitlan Assembly Plant (like CAP, this abbreviation is used less often. Usually we use a misspelled version of Cuautitlan) - Fiesta OHAP - Ohio Assembly Plant (in Avon Lake, on the outskirts of Cleveland) - E-Series, F650, F750 KTP - Kentucky Truck Plant (in Louisville) - Super Duty, Expedition, Navigator LAP - Louisville Assembly Plant (also in Louisville, but nowhere near KTP) - Escape, MKC -- Defunct plants that are mentioned from time to time: SLAP - St. Louis Assembly (last product: the BOF Explorer) STAP - St. Thomas Assembly--In St. Thomas, Ontario halfway between Toronto & Detroit (last product: Crown Vic, Town Car) TCAP - Twin Cities Assembly (last product: Ranger) Norfolk - Norfolk, Virginia (last product: F150) Wixom - Wixom, Michigan (last product: Town Car--yes, the Town Car closed down two factories) Edison - Edison, New Jersey (last product: Ranger--just like the Town Car!) Lorain - Lorain, Ohio (last product: "MN12" Thunderbird, Cougar and Mark VIII) HAP - Hapville (Atlanta) Assembly Plant (last product: "DN101"--previous generation--Ford Taurus) On a side note, just seeing how may plants closed vs how many are still open is very sobering. That massive loss of jobs is very depressing and you realize what a miracle it was to save this company at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 That massive loss of jobs That is one of my major, major issues with GM and Chrysler. I get no sense that the leadership at either company appreciates their responsibilities to their employees and retirees. I'm not saying that concern over the hundreds of thousands of employees and retirees should paralyze management, making them afraid to take any risks.... But I would like to see some sense that people like de Nysschen & Marchionne (for instance) understand that their risky business practices will have serious long-term consequences to entire cities if (when) they fail. I mean, Reuss and Barra have given de Nysschen carte blanche to spend and spend and spend, but if this doesn't work out, it's going to be thousands of rank and file people out of work, not just de Nysschen, Barra and Reuss and their ten figure golden parachutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerLS Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I just talked to the dealership and their saying 2 to 3 weeks yet. Mesquite is about three hours away. That sounds like west Texas time. A few years ago, I drove from Denton to Post, and the two hours from Seymour to Ralls was the longest three weeks of my life... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisH Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm waiting until the Fall (probably October) to pull the trigger, but I'm leaning heavily toward Competition Orange. Your new ride looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've loved that color ever since i saw it on a Focus SVT. Have fun and be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
