They dont look much different from the BA falcons but subtle little changes make them look more aggressive.

Personally I reckon the Fords look alot better than Holdens these days. (and I'm a holden fan!)

What do you guys think of these Aussie designed and engineered masterpieces? :P

Anyway here are the pics: (if you havent seen them already)

I think the F6 Typhoon + ZF Six Speed Auto transmission may possibly be the best Australian built car ever, on paper at least. A real transmission with a brilliant engine and balanced chassis, what more could you want?

Considering that motoring journos have always complained that getting any powerful Australian manual car off the line cleanly is tough, and that the T56 manyal is rather agricultural, I have a feeling it may be quicker than the manual in all real world situations. Same goes for Falcon GT Auto.

I have yet to drive one, so my final conclusion will have to wait.

massive ford fan here....i absolutely love the new range. they look incredible...

yeah its only subtle changes, but things like the new F6 rims...they look incredible!

Good stuff ford, keep up the good work!

i love them......

some good auzzie muscle...... every time i see one i want one.... looking at that typhoon as a next car (in a few yrs).....

when i was at bathurst this yr i saw 30plus gt, gtps, typhoons etc (not inc ones there for advertising etc)

and maybe 2 hsvs......

they are certainly taking off!!!

Holden are bloody lazy. I loved holden until ford released the XR6 Turbo. Thats when the respect came from. Holden UNTIL TODAY still hasnt created a rival turbo car to compete against the XR6T.

another huge ford fan here. not bad, although, i think ford, in the current automotive climate (ie, coupes, turbo's and drivability being issues ppl look at nowaday's rather than pure cubic inches), would do well to release a cutdown 2 door, based on the falcon chassis (just like the monaro from holden), with the 4L turbo 6, and awd.

did someone say Ford GTR? :P

I think they're real nice

I'd seriously consider a BF XR6T in the future if I find myself looking for a new car

Though I'd see if I can get one with BA2 wheels, I'm not much of a fan of the BF XR6 wheels.

Holden are the ones concerntrating on size...ford is just squeezing power out of smaller engines.

the BAs have 5.4 litres...HSV's are 6 litre now

For that price tag, a gtr/evo/rx7 would do me with some cash left over to spend on the gf  :P

two things wrong with your post:

A new Ford comes with warranty... the cars you mentioned dont.

And your GF should be spending things on you buddy :D

A few of my mates were involved in the final on-road testing of the BFs a month or so ago. All reports from them have been positive. I think they're pretty good.

Ive got a vid of "some guy" doing a 0-230km/h run in the BF GT-P, its pretty quick. (Apparently theres a 230km/h speed limiter) But of coarse Im not going to show anyone, for legal reasons ;-)
