ford engine technology in that inline 6 is nice, but I would rather have the holden all around.

I am a holden fan (dunno)

what? the interior is HORRIBLE... thats the same steeringwheel they use here in the states on explorers.

I agree that engine = sexy. The car itself? ummm pass.

(poke) That's not even close to the same steering wheel you find in an explorer.

really? Ill take a picture of my dad's 03... its almost identical with the EXCEPTION of the agressive form on the outside ring. everything else is practically the same. Either way, the interior is mostly bland, looks like they fixed up a taurus...

*cough* an '03 wheel you say??? I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you there
an '07 isn't close either...

Tough call...I dig turbo engines with decent displacement and a turbo 6 is HAWT...but the Holden has that sweet V8 & a more aggressive look...Hmmm...Choices :D

V8 for me please. Turbochared engines are fun and turbo rush is addictive. But the honesty of a barrel chested V8 can't be beat: No lag, no boost leaks, no power dropoffs, much less fear of detonation, just a steady pull to the horizon.

I'm just partial to the Falcon platform. It is one of my favorite cars in GT4, and I would do bad things to good people to get one on these shores.

For you, Donas, the v8 lover, they do make an FPV Falcon with a v8 :)

I still would rather have the Clubsport R8. Just not a blue oval guy.

I've seen that steering wheel in other Ford products but can not think what I've seen it in. Taurus or Crown Vic.
