Guest Guests Posted 26/02/06 01:29 PM Share Posted 26/02/06 01:29 PM I wonder...Although only early days yet, we at least know for a fact that Ford are launching both the XR5 and the Turbo Territory.Has there been any talk or rumour as to if FPV intend including them into their line-up? I'd love to see what they have install for these vehicles, would sure send a rocket up the of HSV!!!Ideas anyone???Regards,Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top gear they recently ran a comparo between the X5, GTi and Astra and the astra while quickest in a straight line had to much power to be effective in the corners.I welcome the competition though as both are very capable cars hopefully the hot hatch segment will heat up again.
