I hadn't noticed either but I'm used to dodgy panel gaps. It's what you get for driving an EA

I must admit the HSV cars look better in real life than in the pictures. Same goes for the BF MKII.

The interesting thing is whats different on the BFIIFairmont/ghia compared to my BA Ghia.

1. No vanity lights above the mirrors (meh) BFII
2. Still no Passenger electric adjustment.
3. Standard fairmont gets BA ghia fake burl trim.


The force 8 looks better in real life too.

As if Falcons are any better. You're talking 1 to 2 mm here, if that.

That front on shot of the red toyota looks very VY/BA-ish. It may sells on looks, but i reckon it would really sell if it were RWD.

True that. My BA window seals on the rear passenger doors have a real bad alignment, as does the headlight/bonnet gap. Hopefully Orion sees better quality.

As for the look of the HSV's, yes I agree they look schmick upclose. I saw a dark grey GTS the other day and it looked menacing, love the LED tail lights as well. Hmmm now why haven't FPV dished out for some LED lights or at least Xenon for the front? Very poor form from FPV once again on BF2. The only thing introduced to the public from FPV since BA was the Typhoon (Force cars don't count as they're just GT/Typhoon without a wing with a higher price).

Jeez I didn't think it was that much of a big deal re the Aurion. I was actually having a light hearted dig because many here rave about Toyota build quality.
