Yeah but here's the thing and possibly where you guys might consider. This is the blue forum, the subjective stuff like looks you might wanna just concede you will never convince us the SS looks nice

Honestly I don't think the interior is galaxies ahead, it is against ve, but the ve was miles behind fg. That put VF a little ahead of fgx Imo.

Having done my shopping for a new v8 earlier this year I had ssv, ssv redline, clubby, gts, xr8 and gtf all in mind. Just as you guys have things that mattered to you when you bought so did I.

Clearly our needs for vehicles are light years apart, ford I believe caters to people who want what I did. Holden use to but I believe they shifted their targets to other demographics.

Holden invested nothing in the areas that matter to me in VF, ford invested heaps in the areas that do. The results are what we see in front of us.

Edit: here's the white suede I was referring to
