I never saw a 4 cylinder falcon on on the horizon. Especially one that rips the souls out of the ve and aurion.

I'd have to say that the odds are that we will get our 2/100 LPG in due course
Because the guys at ford have proven their skills and this is just the start.

As for the 'post 2016' comments... give it a rest already.

To say all those good things tasted like vinegar, so he needed something, anything to take the shine off of it.

Him and others like him, a damned disgrace.

Lol @ the kerion bloke with his comment saying the FG shares the body with the AU.

Interesting to read his change of tune on the EB. He should have waited to drive the car before mouthing off about any demise of a car company.

I test drove a G6 Limited Edition EcoBoost today and let me say that in practice there is little to no difference in the performance of the car compared to a I6 powered car. In fact the Ecoboost seemed perkier and quicker off the line in traffic and just as keen to accelerate to 100km/h up the hill at the beginning of the Frankston Freeway which is always my test of a cars power delivery. I found the package difficult to fault and I think if people give them a go they could easily outsell the Camry and the torque challenged Holden SIDI 3.0 as roomy cars that use little fuel. It's not quite as fast as the I6 but it's so close and has better low end torque that's its probably the better choice for the city driver.
