This is a car, that if feedback is needed in the market, the car has to be approached from many angles

Firstly

Demographic, here in Australia, as the europeans and Japanese are bringing out more horsepower and safety technology and this and that, Ford (FPV) will need to compete with that. They dont have to bring out 400kW plus, or lane departure warning systems, but they are simply in the league of cars that have this or readily offer it, no way around that.

So the car is best bang for buck performance wise, but then people, who love power also in this day and age, expect a little more too, sat nav, sunroof as standard etc… I’m thinking nav is an option (not standard)? and s.roof not even available ?? (FG design constraint etc, read below)

Now, having said the car buyers are anyone, no longer bogan rednecks who just love V8′s, these are guys and girls, who’ve just gotten full license straight through to retirees who can enjoy their successes in life with such a wonderful machine.

Features
——–
The car should have more (sure pricing reflects what you get, best engine ever produced in Oz etc)… but it should have more, Xenon lights for instance (should be standard let alone an option) – On a top of the range toyota ‘corolla’ it is standard, a dam front wheel drive underpowered car. What the??

again, time and day we live in 2009, not 2001.

Build quality well its v.good (I havent seen HSV) but then I have no intention to..

What about pleasing LED tailights… Ever seen the HSV clubsport r8 from behind, thats a nice look, here this F6E has silver lined tail lights from many lower models…

Design Constraints
———————
The F6 (I’ve noticed) and correct me if this isn’t so….follows on the basic FG base very closely….sure we add leather or new “insets”…but Ford should change this around for their elite models…..
Add a sunroof in the premium cars…sure NCAP was earned by a car that did not give any sunroof on any of the models in the FG range coming out of the factory…
In the rear (middle) there is no headrest, all the base models, XR etc dont have it, but if this is the icing on the cake model, put this in…

Basically, the car is an engineering masterpiece, an aussie built car that is taken head to head with a Nissan GTR and get this Porsche 997 – GT2 (wheels magazine March or April 2009, I cant remember the month) OMG… A ford being compared to a $450,000 car and not doing to bad at all – ford 4stars, porsche – 4.5 stars….

But if you put in the small things that go the long way, then that “people in australia who buy cars judged on badges and not the true merit” will eventually turn around, the apple doesnt fall too far from the tree

We dont need to add lane departure warning, panoramic glass roofs or radar governed cruise control,

but if we add xenons, led lights, head rests, sunroof, etc, then you cant really find any faults etc with the car – look at the massive brembos, the wonderful paint choices available, the car is on to a great start, and doesnt have to go too much further to be an awesome finish.

Go Ford. Bring this car out and just tidy it up, give it a new suit, a new pair of shoes, and jus a designer hair trim, dont loose weight or change the cologne….. tidy it up, and it will really be in that VIP crowd…. I can only imagine what journalists would say…..crikey, we’ve trumped the europeans and Japanese..

now, to be serious, this car is on sleek looking piece of machinery, and having the f6 engine will mean it is no sloth, im sure this car would just about beat anything on our Australian road, and alot of overseas stuff aswell.

And people going on about Ford going broke, they havn’t needed one bail-out yet, but GM have needed 2!!.

but this car is hot
and FORD rule
so any ford dissers are being lame to come on this website and diss this brilliant car..
