    Re: New Falcon announced tomorrow (10th)

    Ford are happy to gloat about having this ducks guts 6 speed BUT you can only have it with sports suspension and big wheels!! What's with that!!

    Also can someone tell me how the Barra 190 is more advanced than the Alloytec V6?

    One thing Ford does have over Holden is colour choice 15 vs 6 (XR vs SS/SV6)

    Take one for a drive mate back to back with a Alloytec and you wont need anyone else to tell you.

    The interior is nice (except the steering wheel), probably better than the SSV one (the Calais V one is as good or better).
    The AU look is coming from the bonnet which now seems to accentuate the AU lines of the roof/doors.

    wow, they had the chance to make some changes and be a thorn in the ve's side......


    but fark, what a co*k up styling wise...... just lucky they havent changed the xr kit

    i think the AU stylist must have come back from long service leave....

    Re: New Falcon announced tomorrow (10th)

    Looks like a BA at front 380 at rear and/or an astra on steroids !?!? -couldnt help myself .

    Unfortunately it looks terrible in those pictures imo.Really highlights how bland and dated the AU-BA shape is.There is a gulf starting to open between VE and Falcon i think

    Re: New Falcon announced tomorrow (10th)

    Really dont like the new look. What made the BA and BF great was its squared off look, much like the R34 and 33 skylines. The BF II looks confused - a mix of squared look (back), bubble look (mid) and aero look (front).

    Hopefully its good enough to fend off the camry/Aurion.

    Geez when you compare the BF next to the new VE, the BF really looks old. I personally think they've taken a step back in design.

    Ford need 11 ways just to compete. They give away things that we have to pay extra for because no one was buying the Ford offerings.

    You can get better than that on your LS1? where on the freeway? Good Luck.

    He's not kidding mate, just talk to G&D who tuned a Hi-Powered car which then pulled 9.5lt/100km on the trip home down the monash freeway. (long run from cranbourne through to or past the city i think)

    I got to say that the calais VE design is far better and newer , but truthfully, the ghia interior annihialates the one in the calais, you have a good look how cheap the calais interior looks especially the whole dash.

    That is fair enough, but the 10.2lt/100km quoted for the BF is combined consumption. On the fwy at 110km/h my instant consumption is about 7.5lt/100km (BA).

    I gotta say that the MkII BF looks shocking!!
