Not a big surprise really given the plant shutdown, the end of the ‘06 models, and the relatively unknown ‘07. I confess that I am glad to see any other news, though…can’t wait to see MTTS finally be over because, frankly, I ever got it.

OK, I know I’m math impaired, but I calculate the drop between the Aug05 figures and the Aug06 figures as THREE percent, not ELEVEN percent. Big difference there, no?

Not so bad at all given the model change at the plant.

I dont recall the dates for the shutdown, but it’s back online now building R56s this month full-force.

The reason I wondered was I orderd my 06 MCS and I got word it is in production, I guess I should not be worried about build quality with the 07s on the way.
Mine is supposed to arrive late September or early October

My 2006 MCSc is scheduled for a September 23 delivery. How reliable are these dates in general?
