As we begin to approach the end of the 2016 model year ordering cycle, it is important to remember that all order cutoff dates are subject to change, sometimes without advance notice from the manufacturer.

To secure a vehicle with preferred specifications and to help avoid missing an accelerated deadline, please submit your final orders as early as possible, or no later than 12:00 noon, two business days prior to the scheduled manufacturer due date.

For a full online schedule of manufacturer ordering deadlines and production dates, please visit the ARI website at http://www.arifleet.com, click on the Resources tab and look for the Build-out / Start-up Dates link on the right-hand side of the page.

Due to high demand, the manufacturer ordering deadline for the 2016 Ford F-Super Duty is at risk of being accelerated from its currently scheduled date of 4/1/16. Ford strongly recommends early order placement to fulfill orders with preferred specifications.

The all-new 2017 F-Super Duty features a new high-strength steel frame, a military-grade aluminum-alloy body, and stronger axles, springs and suspension body. New driver assistance features include SYNC 3, Trailer Reverse Guidance and .

The order bank for the 2017 F-Super Duty will open on 4/13/16 and production is scheduled to begin at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in July.

As noted in last week’s FleetWire, the revised ordering deadline for the 2016 Transit Connect is 3/18/16 (previously 3/4/16). Ford has requested advance notification for orders of 50 or more. If you plan to place a volume order before the end of the model year ordering cycle, please contact your ARI representative.

Nissan has extended the ordering deadlines for multiple 2016 models by more than one month. For example, the NV200 Cargo , which had a previous deadline of 2/15/16, will now be available for ordering until 6/1/15. The NV Passenger Van deadline was 7/15/16 and is now 9/1/16.

Hyundai Motor is preparing to launch its all-new global luxury brand, Genesis, which promises to deliver ‘human-centered’ luxury, performance, design and innovation. Genesis will be a stand-alone brand that operates alongside the company’s Hyundai marque and will feature a lineup of six new vehicles by 2020.

The first models to be launched with the new Genesis badging will debut this year as the G90 (pictured above) and G80 luxury sedans. Future models will be named by combining the letter ‘G’ for Genesis with a number, 90, 80 or 70 etc., representing the segment.

Formerly the Hyundai Equus, the G90 is positioned to be the Genesis flagship model. It will be offered with a choice of three gas engines: 3.3L T-GDI V6, 3.8L GDI V6 or 5.0L GDI V8. The model will also feature the latest technologies, such as Advance Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assistance System and Smart Posture Caring System. Hyundai will begin accepting orders for the 2017 G90 on 3/1/16 and the model is slated for production on 5/1/16.

The G80, formerly the Hyundai Genesis, will be launched as a 2017 model shortly after the G90 with an ordering date of 4/16/16 and a production date of 6/1/16. Hyundai will release features and details closer to the model’s launch date.
