Trough Lolly Member 4,349 Member For: 20y 3m 3d Gender: Male Location: Mildura Posted 23/01/07 01:37 AM Share Posted 23/01/07 01:37 AM Yeah I also saw one the other day. It had ACT plates on it and yeah didnt realise what it was untill I looked in my mirror and saw the fairmont Ghia rear number plate surround←White one?they look really plain to me. what are your thoughts?I agree. I saw a Force6 and A Typhoon side by side at the dealer the other day and thought the Force6 was a Tranny at first! Seriously the AU1 T-Series were criticised for looking too soft and so evolved the T3 which looked tough (hope Turbo6man doesn't see this! ). Ford/FPV seem to have reverted back to the soft look.←youre forgetting the ghia is aimed at the luxury market, not so much the performance market.

Really it just an overpriced phoon with a few extras, some people would rather buy an executive style car and still have the performance with out the boy racer body kit look. Alot people hate the d**khead in the Expensive Daewoo v8 or jap box harrassing and trying to run them everytime they go for a drive. The ghia really does not match it with cars like the HSV senator, I think it was a good move for FPV to sell em (even though they could have had a more unique kit), and it does look like they are selling!

And I'm sure you could find a few posts in the archives from members screaming that the phoon was a waste of money, and those same members are now behind the wheel of a phoon!
