Actually to be honest I am not surprised one bit. What will surprise me even more is if the W427 makes production. Smells of another HRT 27 to me.

The W427 is already in pre production.. the R+D money has been spent, it WILL happen.

Yeah the W427 is almost ready to go but im not in the least bit surprised that the Coupe60 isnt going to be built, pure publicity stunt to take the shine off FG

At the end of the day the coupe 60 concept will have had absolutely no impact on Fords sales figures for the FG.. It will have dented Holden's bottom line though.. especially if it never makes production.
That car was purely for "fanboy" satisfaction....
It doesn't surprise me one bit that it wont get to production, look at it another way.. how often have Holden concept vehicles ever seen the light of day?
I think Holden fans will soon start to see through the bells and whistles and get a bit immune and sick and tired of Holden "crying wolf" or failing to deliver with every concept..

I reckon the Coupe 60 looked good. About the only Holden that actually made me say, "I wouldn't mind one of them!"

I wish people would wait until the FG FPV is released before directing so much negativity at Ford.

I firmly believe the FG will be something special.
