Why are you all getting so worked up about a badge? They're obviously doing to do more than just change the badge, so why are people presuming that the badge is all they're changing? Wait till the BF FPVs have been unveiled before you start criticising them. The badge unveiling is just a promotional thing to show the BF is coming. In my opinion it is a good idea, using Bathurst to advertise the BF and create interest in the new car. Also, just because the badge is the same colour as that of the XW/XY era GTs, doesn't mean they are just slapping an XW GT badge on the BF. It just brings back memories of the old cars, not completely recreates them. With a history like the Falcon GT, why wouldn't they use this to promote the new car? Some people just need to grow up and get a life

If they really want to revive the XY -XW legacy they should do a GT with wheels similar the the Falcon 12 slotters a shaker and the original GT stripes up the side with Boss GT and the super roo sticker like the old GTs.
But I dont see that happening. Cant revive a classic in plastic now can you? Its like Holden with the new Torana no matter what they do they'll never revive the true heritage of the original Torana. Man all this talk about old Holdens and Fords makes me want to buy one. Last edited by Ryan; 04-10-2005 at 11:52 AM. |

I saying while Fords models seem to progress, develop and be refined. FPV does not. Hence Fords regular models are catching (except the XR8 which has proberly deliberately been left alone as to not completely step on the GT/GTP toes. But then again now the SOHC V8 and the XR6T are even closer on its feet now.) FPV seems to think they have faultless and impecable cars... no/few improvement required, just shuffle the badges around.. |

I think we tend to forget most people on here are fanatics and represent a small minority of customers (well probably most aren't even owners). There are allot of FPV owners in GT clubs all over the country who are more than happy with the BAGT and live and die heritage, these are the people with the folding to put their money where their mouths are..... The vast majority of GT owners appear to be more than happy with the product and from talking to quite a few of them appear to like the new concepts they're hearing.. Most seem to feel the cars have more than enough out right performance to keep them happy and most feel their own driving ability's are the limiting factor, not the cars themselves.. Let FPV do their thing and release the BF and lets wait and see what we get.

A new badge as a "key element" of the new model? Well that is just fantastic and money very very well spent!
The timeless, heritage-rich overtones of this exciting new logo are sure to inspire a new generation of fans, as well as providing a succulent taste of the glorious days of old for the more mature. It clearly communicates the spirit of the thoroughbred racing tradition of this muscle machine, the spirit of victory, the spirit of winning. It truly is a definitive bridge between past and present! </sarcasm>

"The new GT badge is just a small element in the myriad of upgrades we have made with the new BF range...... ". This press release is just a teaser  _ , why give the game away before the official release?Again wouldn't it be wise to just wait and see what they actually release before we assassinate them?
