Smart money would have an eye out for the Alpine Region over this winter as well.

It is well known that car companys conduct 'hot trips' through the outback, and 'cold trips' through the snow.

Why? - your statement makes no sense, Did you see Holden's losses last year?

MOTOR magazine has renders of what the Falcon could look like without all those covers and such and if it turns out anything like those renders I'll be quite disappointed, it doesn't look very Falcon-like at all.

No I didn't. Were they as bad as Fords?

I thought that getting into a horsepower war when losses are so bad wasn't a very smart move. Same goes for Holden...

After the last few months of Falcon sales (or lack thereof), and increasing fuel costs, a bigger and (probably) thirstier V8 doesn't seem to make alot of sense.

Boxy you have got no idea mate.

ford have had 2 years to go town on the VE

considering the BF was essentially a 4 year old update on a 9 year old base it is amazing that it was so competitive with the VE.

Now the orion will come out and slaughter it.

ya reckon. I'm a Fordy through & through & even I can see the bloody writing on the wall.

In the current climate the only way that the Ford will slaughter Holden is if fuel prices keep rising & they do a diesel & Holden doesn't

Sorry marcus. Thought that the new Falcon that will soon become a V8 Supercar was the right place to post.
