Leading tech and refinement. That is usually what the German premium manufacturers such as BMW offer. You could also opt for engines with old but reliable tech. Or a gearbox in a sports cars that was co-developed for the trucks in the same company. Very durable but don’t expect refinement.

Salomondrin had his opinion about this Ford selection process and you have yours. It seems as if Ford tried a Ferrari model to do business but it backfired a bit. Ferrari chooses it’s customers very carefully. But Ford started this selection business and now some genuine Ford fans/customers/collectors feel abandoned…

This is the problem Ferrari has every single time they have one of these special model cars. Making the best sports cars in the world and being the nr1 car brand in the world, makes everyone wanting your cars and people are prepared to pay any amounts or do anything to get their hands on one of these cars.
