Agree totally!!... this car is lacklustre, dull, boring, & would not warrant a 2nd glance if you drove past it!.. Unless you really took notice, it could easily be mistaken for a statesman! Once again this will be just a stretched falcon, on a wagon floorpan, with a bit of fake woodgrain trim!If Ford want to persist with the luxury market, they should be looking at how BM, or Mercedes approach it!...

I dont think I have seen this done in the lwb models. it looks like a stretched falcon and that's all. in my opinion ill sum it up in two words sh*tty effort.

XR6TK1W1 Member 435 Member For: 23y 4m 15d Location: Wellington NZ Posted 26/04/03 09:09 PM Posted 26/04/03 09:09 PM With the low volumes that these sell against the standard Falcon I think you guys should be happy it looks like a Herse come, same head light tail light Darth Vader mobile. Think of the cost your new XR6T would have been if the design and product development for this car was incorpurated in the price. Good work ford!!! keep it up. ( Remember differant market target from use non inbreed types )

The photos presented here really arent doing the car justice. It really is a wicked looking carl8rRoss
