[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1655592, member: 35314"] The article does not say that you'll no longer be able to go to the dealer for a test drive. All it's saying is that chip shortages have forced them to change the inventory model to something that's actually more efficient and cheaper, so they are unlikely to revert back. Build to Order, yes, but you will still be able to test drive a model when supply meets demand. And honestly, I think they will keep plenty of stock on hand for the high volume vehicles. Dealer's surely don't like the build to order model. It takes more time, more work, and more chances for the buyer to back out. Dealers will naturally start trying to push used sales over new sales. Not good for Ford. And dealers will be less driven to sell below MSRP if they have no inventory to move. [/QUOTE]
