The opinion in Oz at the moment is that it is a far better car than the respective V8 kings from Holden and Ford.

And Ford Australia's build quality is supposed to be excellent now 😉

This is the FPV (ford performance vehicles) version

like the specs on the engine?

The XR6 can be found here 😉

"ou can't help admire how effortlessly the XR6 Turbo 5-speed can outrun the fabled Impreza WRX and run alongside a 5.7-litre Commodore. Giving it just a gentle launch with two people onboard we hand-timed a 0 - 100 km/h sprint in 6.6-seconds."

Given that the WRX is sub 6 and sub 5 with PPP I fail to see how this can be true.

i did a bit of reading up on it and it looks like both at stock the WRX would just edge out the XR6 turbo, but you are comparing a large family sedan (very new as well) to a small sedan with long history of development behind it...

I know i'd prefer a XR6 turbo personally 😀

or a FPV typhoon, have a look at the specs for that engine 😉

But you are also comparing a FMIC and roller bearing turbo equipped 6 pot to a TMIC four. 😛

I like the V8 Ute's. I saw some really nice ones when I was there in 2003.

My next car will be an XR8 Ute 😉
 
Sigh...I can't afford an XR6. I was looking at the Commodore SV6 or considering waiting for the new platform that replaces the Mitsubishi Magna. I had my eye on the Magna VR-X until they changed to that stupid headlight styling and completely put me off....

What to do?

Yeah. Looks kinda like a taurus/contour to me. The pic on ford's site makes it look like a volvo though.

The magnas are supposed to be good cars, but i agree the new styling sucks ass 🙁
 
Couldn't sell it as a Falcon in the US... That name conjurs memories of a car that is only memorable as the base for the early Mustangs.

But I thought Americans prefer a lard-ass vehicle like the Ford 500 instead?
