G’day All. Be interesting to see the response as this hits the market. Certainly has the potential in the looks dept. to score well. Mechanically, no contest against the other big ‘aussie’ producer. Never has been, and as an ex Holden dealer mechanic, I know.
Would I buy one? Probably not. I’ll stick to my ’71 XY GS Fairmont (as much as the wife would like power steering!).

Good luck all.

PS.
For the doubters….

As this is a Mondeo-based RWD sedan, the uppermarket models should make the VE Commodore look boring.

Lloyd & Des, forget about the sound – It’s a great Video!

Hi guys,

The original footage i sent through did have sound. Unfortunatly the video was taken on my still camera, so the image is a bit shit.

To a previous comment, there was a rent-a-cop when i took the photos of the covers on the cars, i went to lift one to get a good shot of the wheel and he appeard. So i left… quickly, a very angery big man.

Looking forward to seeing it in the showroom.
Cheers Lloyd.

love my holdens,but as an inteligent aussie who loves built for australia cars i hope ford hits a home run.and as for fuel econemy,go strap a 14 foot caravan to a camry/aurion and head up the h/way.and by the way the biggest fuel sucker i ever owned was a toyota diesil tray.at 110 kmh with no load on you could see the fuel gauge drop.and it was bought new.ford and holdens issue selling large cars isnt fuel its purchase price.we cant compete with the asian nations on labour.simple fact

I had to say that incase “Football, meatpies, kangaroos and Holden cars” returns so he would have nothing to say and if he has a go, he will loose.
