i guess in my opinion, even with those lights, it still looks better than every other car on the road - except some other coupes

yes, the dashboard doesn't do anything for me - i believe it is all digital, but the from memory the crash pad is now flat and has lost the xb shape

and i believe you are right about the engine - to my recollection it was a lexus engine

Is the word **** seriously blocked?

edit: what the hell...

gtxb67 · 06-08-2011, 01:17 PM

better than herpes simplex virus though. no wonder skaifey and lowndesy just wanted it
plus the big guys at hsv were out voted by the bean counters for the name of one of the clubsports. the hsv guys wanted to be true to themselves, but maybe r8 was the way to go to sell cars - r7 . . . maybe not

Apologies for the crap pic quality, but as I was leaving Wendouree maccas just before, I came across this:

Correctumundo. The fleet cars at work are very well taken care of!!!

LordFordNZ · 09-08-2011, 03:06 PM

Whereas most Ford names are either a noun or a verb - Expedition, Focus, Fiesta, Falcon, Territory, Escort etc. The only weird one I can think of is Cortina, which yet again comes from Europe. Mondeo of course comes from the word mondo/mondiale which means global.[/quote]

Ever tried to market a car, primarily targeted at ladies call "Probe"....now thats a task I wouldnt like to try again!

Datsun Excellent was only in Japan, a genuine name FAIL nonetheless!!
We had the Datsun Sunny......fail!

I reckon there's been a few more name fails too..........

dimka100 · 09-08-2011, 03:37 PM

This is gonna get flamed I guess but here it goes ….

2011 FPV GT Black limited edition on sale – $3K extra gets you … Black paint!!!

I mean seriously, people got exited from the suspension mods, wheels, brakes, front bar on the motor show prototype model – instead what FPV gives us is a stock GT with black paint … oh wait it also has a authenticity certificate included for the black pain … what a joke!

http://www.caradvice.com.au/131492/2...alia-125-only/

Read the comments people, seems like just about everyone including Ford fans and owners think that it’s a joke …

My grandparents had a Camira. I have fond memories of it. Was a really nice car. Was also one of the last Camiras ever made.
