Posted 18/08/05 11:05 PM Share Posted 18/08/05 11:05 PM Screw it, I'm going to call it a mark III, the amount of changes (minor onces at that) they have made just about warrents calling it a mark III, not a new letter designation... I was hoping that they would at least make a change or two to the inside of the car even if the outside looked the same...Basically you can turn your current BA into a BF by putting on a new front bumper, new tail lights and doing anything to the engine which gives an extra 5kw...As I said before I see the BA resale going down a little at the BF's release, but ppl will not be fooled for long and the BA resale will go back up...

Sorry mate, l disagree.A 6 spd ZF auto is not a minor change nor is indepndant VCT. A 6spd auto is not something normally associated with our local volume sellers and l reckon the new engine is going to be very torquey.Add in larger brakes and possibly the ESP from the Territory and you have some very worthwhile improvments both over the BA and other competitors. The upside down FPV inspired front bar looks the biz too Credit to Ford, instead of doing a Expensive Daewoo and giving the car a new look and leaving the mechanicals unchaged they have done the opposite and all buyers will benefit. There is only so much money in the kitty come refresh time.Hope FPV can give us a few nice little suprises.

sykes Member 408 Member For: 21y 9m 12d Location: Brisbane (Parkinson) Posted 18/08/05 11:47 PM Share Posted 18/08/05 11:47 PM Does the new 6 speeder have a manual mode like what we have now? I just can't tell from the picture. I like the look of the new gear stick boot though. I know my father-in-laws new 5 series has it so I guess being the same box it will still have the manual mode.Mick Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19470-bf-falcon/page/9/#findComment-284260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look the same to me me too ?????????????I think the new ones have a clear looking lense over the tail/brake lightThe red lens looks more pink on the BFI reckon that's just the light....Could be.
