Before, I was under the impression that Saleen was preparing to move its operations to Troy Michigan, where it built Ford GT's. However, that doesn't seem to be the case as the whole company, not just the Irvine branch, has been downsizing. The Irving HQ just went through another round of layoffs. I'll reiterate, no S7's have been built for quite some time. More alarming though, are the sales figures. Lately, Saleen has been selling about 11 Mustangs a month, a far cry from their monthly sales figures of the recent past.
Saleen has just really been missing the market. For instance, the Saleen truck was realeased two full model years after the initial release of the latest Ford F150. Another mistake was the money dumped into R&D for the Saleen Thunderbirds. Since many have not seen or heard of a Saleen Thunderbird, one can see how that was a total waste. Also, the N2O Focus project flopped and the related lawsuit didn't help either. Things just aren't looking good for Saleen.
Saleen doomed?
