Zain ChristisonAug 23, 2012 This car is ugly, stupid and diseased. U don't want this in ur country. Sadly they ar in my country. Ford falcons are ugly and stupid. Idk wat would have to go through ur mind to buy one of these. Ur better off just buying a HSV coz they are more better looking.
Josh KnightAug 14, 2012 Oh here it is the return of Wyatt
Colin DzendoletAug 13, 2012 because they hold their cameras upside down in the Outback
@nick, instead of him dogging everything, he actually made a joke, lighten up this time, we'll have our chance to yell again lol
Quinn ConnerAug 13, 2012 The car is going counter-clockwise around the track though.......just like the Australian flow of toilet water
Wyatt GordonAug 13, 2012 why is it that Australian cars never really look upside-dwn?

Joseph CiniAug 14, 2012 335 meaning in KW not Cubic Inches no change from Standard GT just tweaked suspension & Tyres for better handling which drew Criticism here from Standard GT's.
Joseph CiniAug 14, 2012 Dillion 335 cubic inches is 5.4 Litres.
Devin BabynAug 13, 2012 Same, just tuned different with a S/C. They wanted more low end torque
Jamie McphersonAug 13, 2012 So I'm guessing this isn't the 5.0 that north America has?!
Brandon WhybrewAug 13, 2012 they changed this. because earlier it said HP in the 300s and I commented they could get way more HP out of it. and my comment is no longer here
Jeff BayuraAug 13, 2012 Well it may beable to hold the title of best performance car in Australia for right now, but the new Commodore is coming out within a year. There is going to be a great battle between the two cars.
Colin DzendoletAug 13, 2012 besides, wouldn't a .020 over 4.9 make it closer to 5.1-5.2 318-322ci? I didn't do the exact math, but I'm sure I'm not too far off the mark
Colin DzendoletAug 13, 2012 @Alex, you beat me to it, 335kw=Boss335, rocket science, right?
Devin BabynAug 13, 2012 Alex where the hell did you get the idea that this is a 5.4
Alex ArvanitisAug 13, 2012 Also because of 335 kw.
The design teams goal was 335ci and 335kw to make 1kw/ci just like 100hp/liter is a cool figure. 1hp/ci isn't as impressive as 1kw/ci. 1kw is more powerful than 1 hp by about 50% net or 33% gross.
Alex ArvanitisAug 13, 2012 07-12* gt500's. I'm pretty sure it's naturally aspirated because I remember my 9.2/1 compression 5.4 swap made 370whp at 4600 ft of altitude which is about 430hp. The motor in this Australian model has 9.8/1 compression which would bump it up ~35hp
Alex ArvanitisAug 13, 2012 335 cubic inches because it's a .020" over bored 5.4l ford racing block.
The 5.4L starts off at 331 cubic inches, then the over bore adds ~4.85 cubic inches.
This motor also has 4v heads and is naturally aspirated, unlike the 05-12 gt500 5.4L
Devin BabynAug 13, 2012 Dillon that's not even close. I thought everyone knew what a 302 was by now
Kevin Champoux-RheaumeAug 13, 2012 In Australia they measure their power in kW instead of hp I think. So maybe that's why?
Jamie McphersonAug 13, 2012 Doesn't this motor stock produce 414 horsepower? That's not a big bump in power!
Dillon MageeAug 13, 2012 I think 335 cubic inches is 5 liters.

Justin ChalkChalk SmalyinatorAug 15, 2012 Stripes look stupid. I'd take this over the Stang. Leg room in the back and i have more than one friend.
Tino Nickolas AlanisAug 14, 2012 I'll take a laguna seca as well. I think a styling scheme like this on a sedan is ugly.
John JenkinsAug 13, 2012 ahhh I bet this is faster than my s4 s(
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 Are you serious? Of course you would, but this can still carry groceries back home.
Nate MataAug 13, 2012 Il take a laguna seca over this any day
Adrian ZennaroAug 13, 2012 Actually the sedan is about $75,000 the utes are alot cheaper because they miss out on alot of the mechanical upgrades of the sedan
Nick MakaiaAug 13, 2012 If you have a look at the last page the price is cheap as chips .. I'll have 3 and sell them $10,000 more which is still cheap as chips lol anyone can make a car black and pinstripe red .. Cheaper than the real deal lol...
Zach SullivanAug 13, 2012 if anything I would guess that this might share a chassis with the fusion/mondeo but I wouldn't be surprised if it wer its own I just wish we had these in the states I'm not a mustang fan but I would def consider getting one of these
Adrian ZennaroAug 13, 2012 The falcon is no where near even related to the taurus in fact every1 here in aus is complaining because they are planning to replace the falcon with the taurus
Devin BabynAug 13, 2012 It's not off the charger. It's straight off the boss. Same with the rims
Judah LindvallAug 13, 2012 That stripe looks like it came strait off the Charger. Not a fan of all the graphics but if it was all blacked out I bet it would look sick
Johnny HooverAug 13, 2012 Looks like a 2006 legacy gt
Patrick SchalkAug 13, 2012 Looks pretty good but I like the Holden stuff more
Jordan JacksonAug 13, 2012 Cuz its shape kind reminds me of the current generation fusion
Jordan JacksonAug 13, 2012 Isn't this thing about the same size as the fusion/mondeo?
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 @Bill: Yeah, reading stuff here would be 12 times easier.
Justin KlumppAug 13, 2012 No @Nick I'm not jealous cuz all it is is a slightly better Ford which it isn't hard to make a Ford better.
Brendan BellAug 13, 2012 This looks really wierd....
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 Regular ones yes, SHO models are all wheel drive. VERY heavy cars.
Brady FeredayAug 13, 2012 Isn't the Taurus front wheel drive?
Zack HickmanAug 13, 2012 I think this looks really stupid
Henz HerreroAug 13, 2012 Ya i agree.. This wud be perfect for me cuz i never consider buying a coupe.. This is practical and fun..
Nathan CurtisAug 13, 2012 It wont come to the states because it will be too much comp for the crapstang.

James E CaldwellAug 14, 2012 It's the weekend, cut him some slack, obviously he left out a number. I'm guessing 67k?
Ray LiuAug 13, 2012 Closing- down sale Ford Australia?
Alex VasquezAug 14, 2012 It looks like a tuner lol but it's all muscle oddly
Wyatt GordonAug 13, 2012 @David, yes but GM owns Holden, and he wasn't as specific to say the car had to be made 100% by GM, so the Bathurst counts.
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 Well David I'm sure the Dodge Charger can beat a SHO in almost every performance category, and the Chevy SS is coming so I think I'll pass on a SHO for my performance American Sedan.
David ParentiAug 13, 2012 That's a Holden. Not American made. And it's made with GM components. Not the whole car
Wyatt GordonAug 13, 2012 @David, the VXR8 Bathurst is made by an arm of GM, and that does it a bit faster than the SHO, 4.9 seconds I believe (with a manual)
David ParentiAug 13, 2012 SVT isn't dead? They put out the F-150 Raptor and the GT-500
David ParentiAug 13, 2012 The new SHO has 365 hp can do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds with awd. Name a 4 door GM family car or dodge that can do that. And every ford vehicle I named were made up to 2003 and current. My dad drives a 2012 Boss 302 mustang and it's no slouch at all.
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 I don't think half of those cars exist today. SVT is dead as well. Other than the Stang, the only other Ford performance CAR over here is the SHO.
David ParentiAug 13, 2012 @Bill Zoo- Mustang(GT,Cobra, SVO, Bullitt, Cobra Jet, GT-500, GT-350, and so on) Focus SVT & ST, F-150 Lighning & SVT Raptor, Taurus SHO, Ford GT. Just to name a few Ford Performance Vehicles.
Matt PiccoloAug 13, 2012 @ Brian, my thoughts exacly! An I know we won't get em lol... I still don't get y but ...
Greg LewisAug 13, 2012 This would sell like wildfire here. Plenty of men with families who want the boss mustang but just cant justify it. I'd personally pick this over the mustang. One wicked car!
Brady FeredayAug 13, 2012 Being it to America this would be the one ford I would buy hahahahah xD
Matt PiccoloAug 13, 2012 Why don't we get these in Canada/the us? These r some really nice sedans!!
Alex VasquezAug 14, 2012 Woah!! That'll eliminate that Subaru pick up truck thing
Steve AngelucciAug 14, 2012 Minus utility? Mate this takes a bigger payload than your F150. My daily driver is the Holden (SSV) competitor to this and it rides/handles beautifully! With plenty of poke!
Matt PiccoloAug 13, 2012 I love the sedan but this just looks odd
Ryan Douglas HieAug 13, 2012 This body style (half car, half truck = carruck) is unsightly and pointless. It is a car minus the sex appeal and a truck minus the utility.
Jordan JacksonAug 13, 2012 I think this is cool, it's like fords modern day version of the grand ronchero
Logan LeMonnierAug 13, 2012 I'm sorry but this really is ugly. I understand that it's big in Australia but they need to keep it there
Abraham MendozaAug 13, 2012 @Stephen, I ment that in a complementary way. If you read the comment I made on the next photo....
Wyatt GordonAug 13, 2012 its ok, but I think the Maloo was better
Greg LewisAug 13, 2012 Nose doesnt fit the feel... Needs squared up just a bit
Josh NegronAug 13, 2012 That's right Stephen! They love/use utes down there like crazy. Many of their cars have ute variants.
Stephen CobbsAug 13, 2012 @Abraham. Are YOU kidding me? The Ute is a big deal in Australia. Just because they dont make them here in America doesnt make it weird.
