I'm just And it is quite clear the responses show quite varying opinions - Ford should be listeningI'm sure they will probably win a great deal more sales with colourcoded front as an option. I spoke to one of the Marketing guys at FPV about it-not on the cards yet, but I'm sure they will.Despite the looks (whatever the opinion), they have done a great job on the engineering side - handling, engine improvements, things like launch control, drive quality etc No question. And the importance of this cars success is critical for them now - so peoples broader opinions will probably help them make it even better.

The Phoon will break 4's, and good chance the T will too.Be interesting to see what MOTOR report today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
