I don't know how they are going to make money unless it hits the top of the sales charts, all that tech added and 10k drop in price, whoah. It's really quite bold of a move, I guess the older platform has recouped the development cost already but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 9m 25d Gender: Male Posted 02/06/13 02:09 AM Share Posted 02/06/13 02:09 AM (edited) Hi Guys,Check out this story - VF Commode vs FG XR6T:http://news.drive.com.au/drive/new-car-comparison/comparison-review-vf-commodore-ss-v-fg-falcon-xr6-turbo-20130530-2nd5z.htmlHolden's radical price reductions will make it hard for Ford. If Ford does not officially reduce prices, I imagine they will have to do so when negotiating deals.Here's some free advice for Ford. Bring back the XR8 and fit the blown Miami V8. 315kw will be OK as we know it's the same engine as the 335kw job.Upgrade the XR6T turbo so it blows a bit harder in the upper rev range. Fix up the seating and steering wheel position for more adjustment. Fix up the electrics so the clock holds its settings and preferences for things like light settings are not lost for no reason.Fix up the 6 speed manual rollover noise and while you're at it, fix up the rear end bushes that tend to chop out somewhere between 20k and 30k. My XR6T is a 2008 model. Has Ford looked at these issues recently?Any thoughts?PAH Edited 02/06/13 02:09 AM by PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Ford have is all you will get, maybe a small face lift next year, and just carry on until the end.People on these forums are only a minority of car buyers, mum and dad just want a basic car to get about in, so that's their main bread and butter.Everyone just needs to accept whats there is it.

Giving a car more power is not always a selling point v a whole package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
