This thing is classy but tuff looking and a very tempting proposition. It was interesting to see that the Senator came with 275/19 rears and 245/19's on the front...they certainly filled ourt the guards nicely.

Fords have always been povvo in the wheel department. But the thing with Force 6 and 8 is, for next to no development dollars, they get two new models to launch, to take some of the media attention away from General Motors launch, to take some sales away from HSV, to develop a new (for Ford) luxury/performance segment, to replace the LWB models, and to keep the pot boiling 'till the new platform is launched in a couple years. Ford /FPV are getting an awful lot for not a lot of money.

Everything else works IMO, though I'd be staying well away from the 'optional' red leather colour, and just getting the standard 'charcoal' coloured leather seats.
