harvyk Member 1,070 Member For: 19y 9m 26d Location: The North Cooma End of Canberra... Posted 17/08/05 02:54 AM Share Posted 17/08/05 02:54 AM Anyone seen pics of the new BF from the rear? What do these new tail lamps look like? Without knowing much about it, it does sound (at this stage) like the changes are fairly minor? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whilst it still looks like a nice car (well duh) I can't really see how it is majorly different (not like the differences between the AU and the BA)... I'd be interested in seeing a few more pics of the car inc from the back and the interior...BTW a 5kw boost in power doesn't exactly seem like a good reason to race out and buy one... (Not for the premium they'd charge for a new model car)Just my 2c, and my mind is no where near made up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost like they answer quieries with only the current brochure in front of them for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who replies to your email is actually replying, in most cases, on behlalf of the person rather than the person themself...So they just might be the PA doing the daily email check, replying to the 'typical questions' and only passing on the personals or priority mail... This happens at work all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are lucky we didnt see huge changes like wat Expensive Daewoo does everytime there is a new model otherwise resale value will suffer massively. Well dont Ford Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASNU Member 261 Member For: 21y 11m 1d Location: Brooklyn Posted 17/08/05 06:56 AM Share Posted 17/08/05 06:56 AM All I wanted to do last week was go into the dealer and order a new Tornado in Automatic as I do alott of city peak hour driveing and no one could give me a actual date or anything.The reply from FPV was P-ss P--r and expect abit more from them actually.I really do not want a generic replyThe new T has 480Nm so it will handle it no worries.Hell my Auto has lasted 120K with the APS 2 kit fitted unmodified so no worries for this new one.Looked at a new Super Pursuit but I dont think it could match a modified stealth 6T but.
