The best of a bad situation

[ieatsports_cars]

i would proberly put my XR6 on blocks, or sell it and buy a EL GT and then buy a mitsubishi triton or a outlander

[Cam]

Would keep my AU, or if I couldn't probably downgrade to an I6 AU or e series..

Failing that, probably buy an old celsior, TX3 Turbo AWD, a M3, a 300c or bring over a new 'stang

FWD makes me cry...

EDIT: other option, buy a Focus XR5 turbo and convert it to AWD!

There will be no FWD Falcon on my driveway. End of story. If it comes to that I'll hold onto my BF until it dies or get into a second hand 540i.

I voted drive an old model prob because i wont be able to afford a new falcon soon anyway

I agree with this sentiment 100% I have 2 RWD fords and if they stop making them I will have to make sure I have enough parts to make my cars last longer than me. RWD in a BM or merc would be considered at a last resort simply because the cost of maintaining those vehicles is fairly high.

I voted old rwd falcon but I'd probably end up in a f250.

[duaned]

I would just follow the soccer mums and rednecks and drive a SUV. THose mongrel drivers have been blocking my view of traffic ahead in numbers so I may as well join them!

[Bucknaked]

I'd probably keep driving my Mondeo

This is my direction too. Although Audi's are FWD/AWD.

I'm not into FWD anything, i've driven lots of miles in different FWD cars, including late Honda's without doubt the best of them and they do noting for me.

AWD is still a secondary preference to RWD, cost, weight, complexity, fuel consumption/emissions all work against this answer.

But I couldn't bring myself to buy a Holden. So neutral territory for me. Benz, BMW 125/135 are quick. Not cheap so maybe a 3 yr old one. Or something even further afield like a Prado or a DMax ute.

not much mention of Subaru's... id get an outback/liberty and keep my NC for fun

[nang3]

yeh i'd probably look at an STI or EVO as another option.. love a small turbo car, the WRX we used to have was one of the most fun cars ive ever driven..

either an old AMG or top of the range thats gonna cost a fortune in parts etc or something sloooooooooow haha..

actually my old mans got an 08-09 C220 diesel which was about 60-70k and goes pretty decently for an oil burner... thats one that i'd consider

[glavas]

if the went fwd over night the fg's and bf maybe even older models would go up in price.

no one here is talking about the utes??? how bad would a fwd ute be?????? no wonder no one sane buys those jumbucks
