In reality, Holden are doing well promoting their Image and Branding... something which Ford lack. Holden normally seem to steal away the press from the Ford stand.

Unless Ford surprise us with a Focus ST or something of the like, i dont see the Ford stand being too appealing, apart from a new GT. Honestly, why cant they make one off concept cars? Holden had the Monaro Convertible, Torana, Sandman, SSX, Elfins... all great concept cars that got the attention... to THEIR stand!
but in the end who really cares about a car thats not going to go into production? Ford can put their money into better things.

Holden poeple talk about the Torana etc when they are first shown and then are let down because the idea dies in the ****.

Having a go coz every year Holdens "New show stopper" is a reviving of an old idea. They dont seem to do new and original.
Look at recent concepts by the 'big 3'. They all revive old models. If I were to type out what Ford, Chrysler and GM have revived as concept and production cars in the last 5 years I'd be here all night.
