How about, when it shows up, it shows up?

Love reading the debate back and forth on production times, who's spot got bumped, etc.

And personally, it's a bit funny that anyone still wants a 2021. That will become the year the auto industry forgot. Marred by delays, shortcuts, and excuses from automakers.

But nope, america wants their auto's, and they have to feed the monkey!

With all the bs going on, zero interest in anything until 2023, when we will probably be able to get it with no compromise and at the normal new model release times.

Who wants a 2021 now when the 2022's would typically already be hitting the lots? At this rate they won't even be putting the 2022's out on time (typically july-aug timeframe)

You’re probably right, it will take awhile for the auto industry to recover and produce vehicles in a timely manner. With the uncertainty around Covid ever being in the past, it could derail and take even longer.

I'm OK with owning a COVID Raptor.

It took 3yrs for the Spanish flu of 1918 to makes its way through the entire population and burn itself out, and that was with no vaccines to stop/slow it down. We are a little more than half way through this so we still have a little ways to go, I'm being conservative here with hope that it will end sooner rather than later. I want my Raptor so I can at least have a little more fun while we trudge through these crazy times.

Monkey? Not quite sure I follow your reference here. Please elaborate.

I’m buying one to have fun and enjoy my hard earned money. Waiting until 2023? Not fun.

"Feeding the monkey" in this case is an expression to illustrate the auto industry having to produce vehicles to satisfy American buyers.

Definitely not fun! I think the point was that getting a model already out of date sucks ***.

I hear you on that!

I am always hungry LOL. I get your point though, there is an insatiable thirst that we Americans have for certain things.
