So is there going to be a buy-back scheme on my T5?

I wonder how much to drive into the dealership with the (T5) in the car and drive out with a "MkII" driveline?

I currently am far from in love with my car due to the disgusting clutch and gearbox. I thought my new one was better.

Very interesting, thanks for a great post Grant!

This certainly is good news. I wonder how much the gearbox and all the rest will cost from Ford....How much would a used T5 go for? It may work out better in the long term to upgrade straight to Mk2 or a typhoon...

Good news for existing owners l reckon as far as not undermining resale too much goes. No change to the auto, no chages in power and only minor spec upgrades considering the BA has been 2 years on the market by the time BA2 is released. l hope the T56 doesnt have a redundant 6th gear like the Expensive Daewoo box

No Getrag, well there is a suprise. Ford would have commited to the T56 a long time ago l reckon to have completed engineering, durability testing etc. Probably a year ago at least. A Getrag was always too many $$ for an Aussie made family car.

No mention of the diff, wonder if anythings changed there.

If the XR8 gains a power upgrade (it appears the rest wont from the text) then it will be a real option to the T, not just for those V8 diehards.

I'm waiting for that shirty bugger from Canberra that wrote of his Blueprint to read this news. I can hear the Croatian swearwords starting already!

Oooh what is Blaze?

Blaze is a rich metallic gold that is bold and daring.

1. 'Cause it wasn't engineered for the car then.

2. I would not have been able to marketed as a major upgrade.

It's all about planned upgrades to keep market interest high as is evidenced by the fast introduction of new colours.

Looks like Trev is of his medication, he starting to make sense.
