I dont like the new XR front bar, but I do like the tail lights and the increased Torque and Power of the XR6T. I may have to upgrade once I've paid off my car loan in $5999.27 time.

Ditto

Excellent, but my upgrade will be in a year or so..

I am not alone :spit:

Hi Guys,

Thought you might be interested in this snippet announced on 17 Aug by Ford.

The new Ford Falcon BF XR6T will be in dealerships late Oct 2005.

What's New?

- ZF 6 Speed Auto Transmission with change to shifter (see pic below)

- Power up to new 245kW (now called the Barra 245T)

- Engine now meets new Euro 3 emission standards (mandatory from 2006)

- Torque up to new 480Nm

- New Front Bumper (see pic below)

- Added ESP

- Added new bigger brakes

- Changes to suspension

- Changes to interior trim but no changes to basic layout.

- New colors available (don't know what yet) but sheet metal unchanged.

- New key

- Alleged better fuel economy (not sure what for the Barra 245T though)

Happy viewing. Just hope my new Silhouette XR6T comes as the BF in Nov 05.

New Tail lights as requested!

I think ill be buying a set of these, about the only good exterior change so far.  :idunno:

They make me think of a cross between the AU and the BA, they look ok. Also with the comments about the BF taking the BA resale right down I think is a little off the mark. it will certainly take the resale down but nothing more than the mark II did to the mark I. I think that they will need to make a huge change (like change of shape) to really effect the resale of the BA...

Just my uneducated 2c...

can't wait to try the ZF 6 auto :idunno:

Hope it's way more responsive then the SSS :spoton: Mmmmm. For now I'll stick with the T5 in Mandy.

Tail lights, they are different? Hmm. :spoton:

It's only the front bumper I have an issue with....lol. Easliy fixed.

Gotta agree. I'm not a huge fan of the new front bar treatment at all! :idunno:
