Ford continually did that with the AU and ask any AU series 1 XR8 owner how hard it is to offload their cars now at a reasonable price. I hope the changes they make to the T in series 2 are cosmetic only. That aside, it sh*ts me that there is a better Ford on the road than what I have. Geez I hate that!! :lol: that's what the Typhoon is for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 3m 19d Posted 06/04/04 10:35 AM Share Posted 06/04/04 10:35 AM They have to have some series changes to implement the cosmetic changes and keep sales moving. I doubt they will say here's the optional pinstripe, different wheel, orange turn indicator, package with a sunglasses holder and illuminated switches....how about we just call it series 2? That's just my thoughts anyway...And yes they will have cosmetic changes done cdm. But l sort of like the idea of packages than series changes...think of it this way your car wouldn't depreciate that much.Also keep an eye on the new BAs in a few months they will delete the chrome strip underneath the rear tail lights and ad a chrome strip across the boot. I agree. I remember the way ford bent over the series 1 AU buyers (myself) with the series 2 coming out so soon after....then 3! Oh well. Chrome stripe over the boot? What the?

dutchie Member 391 Member For: 20y 9m 22d Location: Somewhere Posted 17/04/04 01:21 PM Share Posted 17/04/04 01:21 PM Actually !!!!!!!I have ordered mine 3 weeks ago and the salesman , who apparently has been working at Ford for a long time, actually stated that the 2004 models are actually rated as 260Kw but not advertised to keep Ford selling their V8's....Now I'm not sure if he was telling me porkies but I believe him to be honest as he knocked nearly $5K off my car and added nearly $700 bucks of extras.......Besides, is an extra 20Kw that more noticeable??dutchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 260kw in the ad refers to the XR8. It is an ad for the whole Falcon range not the XR6T. There have been no changes to the 2004 model turbos.

Guest Elvis Brown Guests Posted 21/04/04 12:05 PM Share Posted 21/04/04 12:05 PM The ad in question has a little disclaimer at the top of the screen that indicates the 260kw relates to the XR8…….I’m a little mystified though as to why they chose to use a car with that funny off white/undercoat color in the ad.
