T-dubz Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 If the MME was a hybrid instead of a BEV and had a lower price, it’d probably be my next vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's odd to reduce prices on a brand new vehicle range surrounded by major hype, logic suggests that's because people are abandoning reservations or not placing orders. Ford holding fast on GT pricing is just saving face on the top version that's still far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there’s more competition now with the VW id4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think it's more adjusting prices to match the current market and current competition. Those prices were set months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) All true that the market has changed but Ford doesn’t normally alter prices until after its feeling a loss of sales or feedback from dealers / potential customers. MME GT is still a long way off, so maybe Ford avoided touching that price unless it really has to, it’s very interesting.

But Ford almost never releases pricing on a new model months before production, either. This is a unique situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a unique situation. But it was also supposed to be in production already with deliveries to EU by now. Then COVID happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
