What Do You Guys Think Of The New Fpv Bf Range?

[Cubes]

The Ford Foxus 2.5ltr Turbo sounds interestering for a little buzz box.

Holden are bloody lazy. I loved holden until ford released the XR6 Turbo. Thats when the respect came from. Holden UNTIL TODAY still hasnt created a rival turbo car to compete against the XR6T.

Rumour has the VE Commodore (replacement for the current VZ) will have the option of a twin turbo V6, similar to that used in the Torana concept car.

another huge ford fan here. not bad, although, i think ford, in the current automotive climate (ie, coupes, turbo's and drivability being issues ppl look at nowaday's rather than pure cubic inches), would do well to release a cutdown 2 door, based on the falcon chassis (just like the monaro from holden), with the 4L turbo 6, and awd.

did someone say Ford GTR?

I thought waaaaay back when they announced the Territory that by the time the BF update came around they would be making all wheel drive falcons. I am really suprised that they haven't done it. Even though the AWD system is Auto only, a 6 speed automatic AWD falcon with Turbo 6 or V8 power would be incredible. They should wack a blower on the V8 while they're at it too - it's just a matter of dipping into the Ford parts bin,

I think they took note of how badly the AWD Magna flopped.

Very similiar to the AU's ugly front end, they quickly changed that, what do Magna go and do.. Make model after model based on the same fugly headlights.

Hmm the new focus sits in the "silly basket" along with the HSV Astra..too much power for FWD if you ask me.

[Cubes]

Is the focus going to be fwd though?

Its specs aren't released yet, hopefully they throw 4wd in to it.

Definitely stirr up the competition.

Not that it would be my type of car.

Shame you guys don't the focus RS here. They go very well but almost too well for front wheel drive.

[dezz]

they didnt bring the RS here because it woulda been WAY to expensive with the conversion....its a beast though

[ABuSD]

F*CK the focus, i want my Esky!!

Im seriously thinking about going over there to live for a year so i can have one

If someone offered me one of these OR an R34 GTR, i would dead set not know which one to pick

B)

[dezz]

thats a fkin hot escort!

[Goon]

hmm... You gave me a idea..

I presente de forde coupe:

[Goon]

yeh i know the roof looks dodgy but meh, cbf...

[dezz]

actually a pretty good chop

[Tigger]

I've always had a leaning towards Holdens but after the Ford Turbo range came out I converted

Btw, whats a better overall package in terms of power and handling?

Ford Typhoon or the Subaru Liberty GT?

Both are very yummy and if i had to get a family car it would be one of those.

[scathing]

If I had to buy a big sedan, I'd get an XR6T and do my own tweaks to it.

But then, if I was buying a sedan my priorities probably wouldn't be to get a very quick car, and I'd take the build quality, interior trim, and fuel efficiency of an Accord Euro or Liberty GT over the superior pace of a Falcon or Commodore.

i think hes just trying to turn this thread into another potentially meaningless debate lucky this is not an holden or ford forum

[BL01]

How much does these FPV generate at the wheels? do they weigh like 1700kg or something?

Nice coupe though
