I saw 4 cars, I think they were all black... and had the car bras on the front and back....

Ford won't be in trouble.... but I think the XR8 needs some R&D to compete with the SS....

I work for the company that makes the instrument cluster for the VE, it new i'll give them that, but nothing to scared about.
It looks like a bitsa New Toyota front end, ford rear end and 380 doors.

If i'm correct Ford should be releasing the BF MKII in about september this year, thats when holden release the VE, that will give Ford plenty of time to perfect the looks of the next model Falcon. Cant wait to see what they do...
