Yank Vs Aussie?

The next model should be an even better handler than the FG, less weight over the front wheels and as the v6 is a shorter motor so should sit further back so have better weight distribution.

I would still take the I6

I'm with most other people with the I6. Still looking forward and hoping that they can produce something special with the V6.

3.7 V6 with direct injection and TT, cylinder deactivation should be good for 300kW and 600NM easy from the factory.

Has it been comfirmed that Ford will be using a TT setup???

No

At the moment they have the Xr8 and XR6T which practically have the same performance. From an economic perspective, I don't understand why they do that. I could be wrong, but I recon most Ford lovers would simply buy the XR8 if the T wasn't around. I wouldnt be surprised if the Turbo is dropped when the V6 is brought in.

pfft, yeah right - ford won't drop the turbo because it is a good way to get performance and economy in the one package

[Elias]

if it was was so easy, then why hasn't Expensive Daewoo bothered building a TT?

I would put my money on it being the other way around.

I think Ford should purchase the VR38DETT out of the latest Skyline. Now that would be impressive.

On a more serious note, I think the new V6 has alot more opportunity for improvements in the future but it seems to lack torque.

I like that idea ...
