Hits the streets next Wed just before SMS, has coverage of the new vehicles, some lucky subscribers have already received and have posted the following. Thanks to multiple people on LS1 (you know who you are).
 Official pics. The 'concept' is also running on E85 biofuel. The pics are of the Calais V version (minus the 20" show wheels). The mag also has first official pics of the new Maloo (full spread). It does have those new rear lights that were shown in another thread recently. The magazine doesn't hit newsstands until next Wednesday, the day before the show starts so the official announcements would probably happen before that. Lucky subscribers get the details early. The magazine also confirms the FPV Cobra and F6 Territory, both to be revealed at the show. |

Wagon rear doesn't look as good as I thought it would. Still looks pretty good, but like a lot of VEs, it looks awkward from some angles. Rear tail-light cluster looks terrible. Fords Four-Door Panelvan has a fighting chance yet!

I think that looks quite classy and better than the sedan.

Looks great, being GM I thought something like the 9-3 Sportwagon would have looked cool as well (IMO). More details on the terry please

  It's official: FPV will unveil a high-performance version of the Ford Territory at the Sydney motor show next week. The FPV F6 X will be the first non-Falcon model to hit Ford Performance Vehicle's showrooms when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2008. But FPV's thunder has been stolen by an overly enthusiastic Australian car magazine, which was supplied details by FPV under a strict embargo. The magazine, whcih gave a written undertaking not to publish the information until the day after the Sydney motor show opens on Friday 12th October, arrived in subscribers' letterboxes as early as Thursday 4th October – more than a week early. The FPV F6 X has been a hot topic of speculation at Drive.com.au ever since the Territory launched in 2004. It is based on an all-wheel-drive version of the Ford Territory Turbo, and gets a significant power boost in the form of the 270kW/550Nm turbocharged six-cylinder engine also found in the FPV F6 Typhoon sedan and F6 Tornado ute. According to the information leaked in the magazine report, the six-speed-automatic-only F6 X should be capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in about six seconds. This kind of straightline performance puts it on par with more expensive, high-performance 4WD wagons from Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. See drive for the rest of the artical.

Sweet. Would have been nice if the front looked like the R7 but oh well. Should be a nice car for the partners of F6 and GT owners.

I thought the F6 X was only suppose to have 18's as well due to development problems with Stability Control, hence only having 18's!!! They definately look like 19's!!!

Ew, that F6X looks terrible. Damn, poor effort by FPV i'm not a fan at all. And seriously, all this time under wraps and they still use the 270kW engine... where's a more powerful version... should have made it 289 to go with the 302 cobra...

The VE Wagon looks awesome.
Very modern and unlike the ute, those lights look good on the rear of the wagon. Ford need to make a wagon that does not act as a purgative. I have preferred the look of Holden wagons for a while now, and those only galvanizes that view. The front looks dopey however. Side and rear look fantastic though. Well done to Holden. Come on Ford.

That F6 X front reminds me of the Forester GT to a slight degree.

Yeah the ute does look a little on the hideous side unlike the good work they did on the wagon.

I'm really happy with the direction they're taking this vehicle (VE Wags).
Now, tell me what the pricing is on an SS with the 6 speed manual. |
