AS THE FORD GT GETS CLOSER TO REALITY,
applicants who had hoped to buy one of the 250 supercars
the company will release globally this year have received
their letters from Ford with either good or bad news,
including those in Canada.
But there's more to the car than just selling it, and
Ford now has to determine where they will be serviced.
For dealers, that comes at a price. Any Ford dealer in Canada will be able to deliver the car and it's
entirely up to the customer to decide which one will.
But to service a GT, a dealer must agree to invest a
minimum of about $42,000 to be considered.
Christine Hollander, product communications
manager for Ford of Canada, said the company will
not divulge how many of the cars have been allotted
to Canada, and that privacy laws prevent identifying
customers and their locations.
Hollander said all Ford dealers received a letter informing them they could apply to become servicing dealers, but she could not say how many
responded, or how and when they will be chosen.
About $39,000 goes to buying a special trailer

A STUDY OF FINE PRINT
in the Trans Pacific
Partnership free-trade agreement reveals an even larger threat to the health of
Canada's auto supplier sector than previously feared.
Provisions found in supporting documents - or
"buried in an appendix to
an annex," in the words of
study author John Holmes
- would allow automakers
and parts producers to substitute parts from low-cost
nations and still qualify for
tariff exemptions under the
trade deal.
While much of the attention on the TPP has been
focused on the end of duties
on vehicle imports, "Our
sense is that it's the regional
content values on auto parts
that poses the most serious challenge to the industry within Canada," said
Holmes, emeritus professor of geography at Queen's
University.

When the pact was signed
in November 2015, Canadian
officials stressed they had
been able to win higher
regional content values -
ranging from 35-45 per cent
of a total component or vehicle - than had earlier been
set out in a side deal negotiated between the United
States and Japan. That was
still a big drop, however,
from the 62 per cent regional
content requirement of the
North American Free Trade
Agreement, which the TPP
would replace.
But Holmes and Carey's

Jerry Kroll believes driving
a conventional automobile
will one day be as socially
unacceptable as smoking.
He's doing his bit to
bring that day a little closer; the Vancouver entrepreneur's company, Electra
Meccanica, is set to launch
its Solo three-wheeled electric commuter vehicle in
September.
