what has tempted you to stray from the Blue Oval

[Envi XR8]

Hi All,

I want to start by saying that I consider myself to be Blue Oval to the core. I have only ever owned Fords, and probably will only ever own Fords, but.....

A mate of mine dropped by tonight in one mean a$$ Commo, and I am talking TUFF!! Now this thing is loud, proud and overall not something to mess with, and to be completely honest, has been to only Holden that has made me think, "I'd own that!" Now I am not going to suddenly sell my beloved XR8 ute to buy a Commo, but jeez mate, if it was this car I saw tonight that was for sale, the decision to walk away would certainly be a difficult one.

My post is to find out if anything has come along that has tempted you to consider owning a Holden (or anything else for that matter) as opposed to owning a Ford? I don't want anyone to leave out anything, 4s, 6s, Rotaries anything.

I do have faith that if I was tempted so much by this type of muscle car, that I would hold off and try and find a Ford equivalent, so that my brand loyalty and personal preference was met. I believe that all fast cars, or perfomance vehicles should be appreciated and respected if they meet the expectations of what a performance car should be, but to be honest I never thought I could be so tempted by something from the dark side.

Cheers all,
Envi.
