Default Re: A Badge Engineered XR8?

IMO If I was to buy a FPV GS, I would not want to buy a GS knowing that there is a car the same with Ford badges. FPV is meant to be the performance brand of Ford with a limited number of cars produced each year. If there was a Ford XR8 that was exactly the same as the FPV GS but with Ford badges, to me it would take a lot of the appeal away, when I would be looking to buy a car. I would probally end up buying a typhoon or XR6t.

Also to add, the GS would more than likely have a higher resale value due to the whole fact it is a FPV compared to an XR8 even tho it may be the exact same cars.
