The spelling mistakes in this thread make my head hurt.

Aurion, Taurus.

And as for the future of FPV post falcon, I thought that was now obvious. FPV are no longer a seperate entity, GTs will roll down the line in broady with wheels and bumpers etc fitted instead of sending them across the road, FPV product is locked in to a falcon only situation because it is no longer a seperate group. Focuses, fiestas, whatevers, will continue to be imported from overseas, and the go fast versions will carry the global badging, as they should. FPV was always relevant only to the local operation, and now it's 100% part of it and will surely suffer the same fate.

Maybe, if under one roof now, we could get more build options. Frankly, to not have a factory option for brembos in GS is BS. Late model camira bring them out in their Redline series ffs, and that's not even a HSV! The FPV snobs, like some in my car club, will whinge about losing the perceived 'specialness' of their cars. In reality, they've been fleeced to begin with. Try selling one 18 months after you bought new. That's what the specialness is really worth. So to me, if Ford start matching what the dark side are doing a bit better, maybe they'll start moving some units.

So here's a start. I want an FG 'Force6'. Slight tweak from 270 to 300kw using F6 cooler & injectors with 4 pot brembos. No cheesy body kit and actually, lose the rear spolier and replace with the G6 lip. Finally, piss off the crappy lower bar infill with something better that doesn't gather dust - similar to the FPV insert. Add the current special edition 19's but finish in graphite. Finish with custom trim to reflect the Force6 name and bring back EGO as the hero colour. Price point should be around 5k on the top of a base T. I'll put my order in tomorrow.

I tell you what, I would just settle for automatic power windows up and down, that's one thing I can't believe my g6e turbo doesn't have, even my 06 camry altise has this.For the price of these cars, automatic up/down on all windows should be a given, and what idiot decided that it was a good idea not to make the fuel flap lockable, this is a ford derived vehicle I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. They made a great car and fell short of making a fantastic car because of small short comings like this.Stop skimping out.
