Personally I can't see why people want to put FPV badges on their cars but not because it is "damadging the name" or the like, but more because I don't see the FPV nameplate as anything special. |

Remember - FPV and HSV are a local skunkworks and their investment needs to be recouped in a very limited market... ( AU and NZ ) For what they are......the FPV and HSV offerings are very good. They are better in every way to their cooking model brethren. Sure.....you could by an XR6 and mod the ^&*p out of it and then whack a "Jono" badge on it.....( if your name was Jono ) ..........but somehow - methinks it just wouldn't attract the same aftermarket value and integrity if you were to sell it later on.

I won't bother writing anything about tickford/defending as us T3 owners factually know we have a superior car stock vs stock than anything with a 5.4 and i'm not dissing the 5.4 it just comes down to pure weight distribution vs each car. Nothing more. |

Just pointing out there is a lot of hype with some just over a nameplate rather then the car it is attached to. |

There are some great cars out there in the 70- 100K range - no doubt....... But for most of us Bogans - the FPV and HSV are a damned good choice......besides......the other marques just don't do the stripes anywhere near as good...... Secretly though....I'd love the new generation GOLF R......

Lol..all the usual suspects...
The way i see it, it will never be an FPV. Its always gonna be a Ford XR8 but to spice it up a little i would say it is 'Body by Ford Soul by FPV' how much soul is up to you. |
