The grange is certainly one of the 'dark sides' better cars

yep. have always had respect for the Grange.
Ford should listen to those that want luxury performance from a LWB. (id take either car if offered) |

I think the grange is an awesome looking car, especially the newer models. I think there is a FPV Fairlane that will join the lineup in the near future.

I would like to see an FPV Fairlane. The article gave the TL50 4 stars out of 5 and the Grange 3.5 stars out of 5. There close but I still prefer the TL50.

TL50 has to be one of the hottest cars to come out of ford and one of my all time favourites (ive only ever seen a couple). It Was truly a sophisticated car for it's time.
With Ford without a Grange competitor (unless they decide to build the galaxie), the grange rules the roost. You gotta admit LS2 + LWB does equal a nice car.

TL-Fiddy was baddass and pimped-it was the bomb. Id take one over a Grange eight days of the week.
The Grange's are nice tho, particulary the VY/Z ones. The TL reeked of boxy/chunky/luxo bargeness-That's the sh!t! |

Only 3 T3 TL50's were built that had the 5.6L V8... Such a shame

Purple??? I think you are referring to the REDLINE Leather??? When it fades it does seem to go a reddish purple!!! Lol... but still looks great! I would take a TL50 over a Grange any day!!! Though if I got offered one I would still Take the chance to drive it... :P:P Must get some pics of my baby for this site for people to refer too... P.s the article did refer to an AU1 TL50... The series 2 are much better  PP.S The brakes I don’t find a problem unless you are stopping from speeds in excess of over 180 KM/H... but I don’t get there much!!!  : Cheers Rick

I'd love to see Aubergine make a come back... hopefully FPV will do their own Fairmont Ghia (not like the extrovert GT-P, but more Senator-ish) with the leather. It was lovely.

 . Agree with you though, it is a very nice colour for leather, not that I'm biased or anything. :voldar02:
