How about we have a competition to see who can guess the FG2 release date ?
Prize ? Platinum Membership.
The release date keeps getting later and later...
Excluded are members who work for FORD...
This is just a bit of fun!!!

I think it's closer than that.
My guess would be 2 weeks to release details, say 16th September and on sale early December - Christmas present for loyal Ford purchasers :o)
