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

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

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

What was the time frame for the plant being shut down?

Nope, you're not math impared.

The August 06 decline is 2.7%.
The drop for the first eight months is 7.5%.

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

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 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.
