Well the car is a little too much BF in styling for it's own good, but I can live with that. There are two key tests for me:

1. Will the cars engineering and build quality be improved? For example will V8 Manual Falcons still be inflicted with appalling driveline shunt and dodgy diffs? If the FG has a chronic fault like the BA's brake rotor warp, will Ford bend over backwards to fix it and keep the customer happy or will they treat the customer to another circus for months on end?

2. Will the new President of Ford Aust take a size 11 boot up the ***** of the Ford Dealer Network and put the customer first?

If they do both, I'll take a look at FG otherwise the FG Falcon is not past the starting line for me, which would be a shame as I like the new XR8.
