Also that coupe looks nice and stylish and it's priced around the same as the astra, I'm happy with it and being based off the focus would be a lot more quality in it too. I'd easily be classed as a V8 bogan but can see my sis absolutly dieing to have one of these.

Im tipping looks and fuel economy would be pretty high up there though.

Exactly. It's a MASSIVE 1.5L per 100km better than an Astra. That's more than just significant, that's HUGE!!

Again, if the segment wanted outright commodore killing fully sick power, the XR5 Turbo motors would be the one suited. Other than the VW Eos, there aren't any in the segment that do that, it's not needed.

If anyone made the perfect convertible to seat 4 that could kill a Commodore, take a load in the boot and satisfy prices, it'd be 5 metres long, have a wagon boot, pack a twin turbo V8 on fairy juice and fart pink dust out the exhaust pipe. Oh an it'd need to be priced no more than a regular 3 year old fleet auction XT because why else would you buy one? :

Basically as as been said,for Ford to remain competitive they need as many different models as they can have on the market,more models=more sales,it's as simple as that.

I dont mind the look of the car, but I'm an even bigger fan of the lunar colour. If it looks anything like it does in the pictures its about time there were more metalic brown cars!
