I ordered my 2008 Mariner on May 22 and the car arrived at the dealer on June 25. I was told to expect 8 to 10 weeks on delivery. Don't know what happened but I was told Ford ramped up production of the FEH and MMH so that's why I got it so soon. I know my dealer in Michigan sells a lot of Hybrids so maybe he gets some priority in the build schedule too.
