Twin pipes, it needs twin pipes. That oval look is so boring and dated. Make the thing look tough. Same thing for the weird a** shape of the pipes on the last GT. How is it the designers can’t see this?????

He didnt say that HOLDEN wasnt profitable but its just the way he said GM has had big losses which is right but holden would be probaly be making most of the money in GM at the moment.

The best side view of the ute is on skynews.com.au and go to “VIDEO” – I was not only suprised how positive they were, but how clear the video was.

Have you decided on which ute Andrew.M? Did you end up seeing a good side shot?

ford fg, I found your post funny because you clearly aren’t a Ford fan that I can see. The “new bf”??? Get the model designation right for one thing.

Not one good car in the last 10 years according to you. How about all the awards BA won?

Thanks TP, I was surprised that link worked with the size of it, lol.

I’ve nicknamed those “Murcielago” rims because they look very, very similar. Those are my favorite rims from FPV.

Not sure if that will work, n e way check car sales… not the dark ones, not the regular GT ones, but the ones that KINDA looks like propellers (KINDA!)

im ford fan but the new bf has a crap stance compared to the ve especially the side view, and this car will not outsell the ve, ford is struggling despite the fact the new ford came out; they sold 1255 and remeber the ef sold more vechiles than the distraus au in two years!!! on the other hand au falcon went for 5 years 98-02 and it was crap. i was expecting better by ford the car hasnt changed that much still has ba in it and mondeo and has the same rear door line as the ve just about identical.

Holden commodore VE is only a 4 star in world class safety. So what the hell did they spend there billion dollars on. There engines are gutless and trannys dont work properly. New FG is allready rated a 5 star in world class safety. Nowonder Ford is the best aussie made car in the world.

Richo,
mate they wont build the torana here so i dont see how you are getting excited about it.
yes it looks to be a good car but it would be a platform that would be sold globally and sorry to say that making it here in oz and exporting it isnt as viable when they can get it made cheaper elsewhere

So they replace the EPICA….like Simcoe and others are there in Woo land to better things on designs and monetary sense to gain an edge over others. So are you saying GM would backflip off that and turn full circle to can the EPICA and do what you are saying which will still mean they will have the same $ problems to compete as all with that proposed model you are referring too? So they revisit familar ground? Seems a tad comedic like MONTY PYTHON to me?
