Wheels - Boost master - FPV F6 The car looks sensational, with impressive handling and performance level to back it up.
Gosh, it's a shame we don't get those australian Fords here in Europe. I believe they would sell very good here. They have this kind of alternative design, that defers from the flame surfacing and all those current design trends...
The car is quite big, so I don't know if it will suit the European market, however there is a massive market for these type of cars in America, however for some strange reason Ford US fail to realise this and didn't approve an export program for the Ford Falcon. This car is miles ahead of any sedan currently being offered by Ford in US. GM is one step ahead in this regard. They spotted an export opportunity with the Holden Commodore, the only local competitor for the Ford Falcon, so they rebadged it and sell it as the Pontiac G8 in America, and that car is getting very favourable reviews over there. The new Camaro is going to use the Commodore's platform as well. Ford US really needs to get its act together and offer this car in America. I think the design of Australian cars have some strong european influences but without the complex lines and surfaces that is associated with the current design trend. They look pleasant, functional with attractive proportions. The sports version of these cars, like the FPV tend to be less understated than those european performance sedans.
Great local effort, a glowing review and enviable performance stats... but by golly is she ever so ugly!
Yeah, I assume you are talking about those eye patches right? People either love it or hate it with a passion. You can have them in body colour if you want.
I think it's the whole car in general... really bland basic style, with an overbearing and gaping bodykit botched on .... there is nothing EXCITING about the design, nothing which delights: it simply "is". It's as bland as a ham and cheese sandwich; not bad tasting, just not something to evoke a hidden culinary passion.
What i think is that they should import the top versions. I don't know much about those australian fords and holdens, but a family rocket with an affordable price would attract a lot of customers.. :t-cheers:
Fail to see how it is bland. Just because it isn't german made? Looks more exciting then anything out of Audi bar the R8 of late. Maybe if it had those tacky S Class wheel arches? Maybe we should put some ugly 3 Series tail lights on the car...
Nice analogy. I do agree the design isn't as exciting as it can be, and the basic models looks very bland. I saw a metallic grey G6E today, the car looks a lot better in the metal and you can see the car has some nice "surfacing" under natural sunlight. The car has a sophisticated euro look, it isn't exciting but if this is the ham and cheese sandwich, what is the Toyota Aurion then? just a piece of white bread?
Like standing on broken glass. I don't know. I think the Falcon (in general) is a much more cohesive and refined design than the Aurion. But this doesn't make it a particularly interesting design, because it still doesn't excite...
Ouch I guess the designers can't go wild with the styling with cars like these, actually now I think about it, are there any interesting looking large cars out there at a reasonable price ?
