Not for the next 2 years at least Col.
I think you'll find the general will have a hard time ruling the roost now Ford has the taste of success once again. I 've just reread the 4nil whitewash between the BA and the VY again before I get it framed for the office wall. ![]() ![]() Seriously though Bondy, they have already responded with the 7litre Monaro. Brilliant idea by the GM boys. And I still think Holden's decision to not promote the commodore to the taxi industry a pure stroke of genius.We have all ridden around in taxis badly in need of repair with various moans , groans, whines and squeaks. Not a great picture for a future customer is it. ![]() |

When I was Assistante Service Manager at the worlds worst Holden dealer Holden did have a tow in water go at getting the cab market. The weak link in it was the V6 engine. |

I had a look at the BA at the Ford stand at Bathurst and I was very, very impressed by the XR6 turbo, what a fabulous car, well equipped, roomy, modern, awesome output and fantastic value for money, what else comes close? The dash looks very European to me. I really like the mid blue metallic, but I think it's going to be one of those colours that everyone buys in the first year. Remember, Everglades, Aqua Marine, Tiger or Hyper?
I haven't had a good look at the VY, but I'm very disappointed by the styling, a Vectra nose and a Magna tail. The SS also looks rather overdone, like the VX HSVs. ![]() |

I'm wondering about the model designations, XR, then XT. Waht's next? XW and XY? I hope not, these are icons and dare not be tainted.

I finally went and had a good look at the local dealers today. He had a XR6 in Wild Violet in the showroom. And I was sold on the colour alone. I once had a XW Fairmont in this colour.
After having a look I wondered how much debt I could talk my wife into. |

I work part time in a quasi way at the local Ford dealership, and was given strict instructions the other day- DON'T TOUCH THE PURPLE ONE!

Why on Earth would somebody buy a nice new car and then cut a bloody hole in the roof?

We had a BA at work but one of our brilliant sales staff sailed through a stop sign and low and behold wrote it off. I will say this though it crumples well

OMG! That was a short lived car. If the bokes on the assembly line saw it, they would probably wonder why they had even bothered.

Yes,
Is that the first one in the country (or any other country for that matter) that has died? |
