Interesting, but its still weird for the M5 to be bumped to MY2017 now unless they are now going to extend production into calendar year 2017. |
The line can handle UKL and CLAR (Fxx chassis can be built with the CLAR tooling as most of the hard points are carried over). Several of the owned and contracted factories need to be shuttered temporarily over the coming months to change out the chassis tooling for CLAR and UKL compatibility so production will be moved around quite a bit.
With the unit volume contract that is now unused with Magna, it can be utilized as a flexible surge line before dedicated series production is needed.
