cobramad Member 824 Member For: 21y 2m 10d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 13/01/10 06:25 AM Posted 13/01/10 06:25 AM Or worse still, a fcuking Taurus (the immortal Ford Cockeroach..Looked the same approaching you as driving away..Damn it was the fugliest thing around, another shining example of Ford US design and execution...blaggh.. ) Unfortunately it will boil down to what Ford US dictate.. Personally, Im saving my coin for the last of the Aust-designed and built line... a replacement for my BA2 F6.. I really hope the result is a good one for us all..Mal K

It will be V6, V6TT and V8. Having an I6 would require a higher bonnet and longer front end.

Might be able to save the money over 5 years too hahaha!

There is a big change though in terms of maintaining emissions over a longer period of time/km's. Inreases from 100,000km's to 160,000km's. I believe there were some issues with cold start emissions too, but I think they're ok with that now.
