It really does look sweet. I doubt it'd come over here though, unless they adapt whatever chassis that is into our plants. They use pretty much totally different designs over there. What's funny too is they use names like Fairlane, Fairmont, and others which we haven't had since the 60s or 70s...

Well, depending if/when the pontiac GTO comes over (a re-badged holden), for may be forced to release it here! muahahaha... A guy can dream, can't he? It's like a mini-M5!

Yeah, when I first glanced at the pic, the skyline came to mind. It looks more like a skyline+MSP mixed to me, rather than an RSX.

the car is the Ford Falcon

http://www.newfalcon.com.au/

it's not a small car. the base model comes with a 4.0L. A 4.0L turbo looks like fun.

The car looks good, only because it looks so much like are protege's hmmm! I wonder where they came up with that idea..? I'm sorry ford blows and I wish they never bought Mazda out. All of Mazda cars are well designed and ford keeps on taking. I love you Mazda!

well that figures...the aussies get all the good stuff....lol...not only does that sucker look good...it will certainly kick some ***....did you guys look at the engine it comes with?

not only a V-8....BUT A DOUBLE OVER HEAD CAME V-8! and it puts out 389 Hp, and 383 ft-lbs or torque!!!

I LIKE....even if it does have a ford badge on it!

Is it a 5.4l or something? The 4.6l in the mustang is DOHC (I think) and doesn't put out near that much power without the SC like on the Cobra SVT.

Yea, and when they put this car in the US will ineffable to the public, because of the horsepower and it being a V8. They will make the car slower before it gets here anyway. To Redrims, you will get to see my car if you come to are next meet, I promise.
