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.

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 Conner Aug 13, 2012
The car is going counter-clockwise around the track though.......just like the Australian flow of toilet water
Wyatt Gordon Aug 13, 2012
why is it that Australian cars never really look upside-dwn?

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 Cini Aug 14, 2012
Dillion 335 cubic inches is 5.4 Litres.
Devin Babyn Aug 13, 2012
Same, just tuned different with a S/C. They wanted more low end torque
Jamie Mcpherson Aug 13, 2012
So I'm guessing this isn't the 5.0 that north America has?!
Brandon Whybrew Aug 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 Bayura Aug 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 Dzendolet Aug 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 Dzendolet Aug 13, 2012
@Alex, you beat me to it, 335kw=Boss335, rocket science, right?
Devin Babyn Aug 13, 2012
Alex where the hell did you get the idea that this is a 5.4
Alex Arvanitis Aug 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 Arvanitis Aug 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 Arvanitis Aug 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 Babyn Aug 13, 2012
Dillon that's not even close. I thought everyone knew what a 302 was by now
Kevin Champoux-Rheaume Aug 13, 2012
In Australia they measure their power in kW instead of hp I think. So maybe that's why?
Jamie Mcpherson Aug 13, 2012
Doesn't this motor stock produce 414 horsepower? That's not a big bump in power!
Dillon Magee Aug 13, 2012
I think 335 cubic inches is 5 liters.

Stripes look stupid. I'd take this over the Stang. Leg room in the back and i have more than one friend.
Tino Nickolas Alanis Aug 14, 2012
I'll take a laguna seca as well. I think a styling scheme like this on a sedan is ugly.
John Jenkins Aug 13, 2012
ahhh I bet this is faster than my s4 s(
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
Are you serious? Of course you would, but this can still carry groceries back home.
Nate Mata Aug 13, 2012
Il take a laguna seca over this any day
Adrian Zennaro Aug 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 Makaia Aug 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 Sullivan Aug 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 Zennaro Aug 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 Babyn Aug 13, 2012
It's not off the charger. It's straight off the boss. Same with the rims
Judah Lindvall Aug 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 Hoover Aug 13, 2012
Looks like a 2006 legacy gt
Patrick Schalk Aug 13, 2012
Looks pretty good but I like the Holden stuff more
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
Cuz its shape kind reminds me of the current generation fusion
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
Isn't this thing about the same size as the fusion/mondeo?
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
@Bill: Yeah, reading stuff here would be 12 times easier.
Justin Klumpp Aug 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 Bell Aug 13, 2012
This looks really wierd....
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
Regular ones yes, SHO models are all wheel drive. VERY heavy cars.
Brady Fereday Aug 13, 2012
Isn't the Taurus front wheel drive?
Zack Hickman Aug 13, 2012
I think this looks really stupid
Henz Herrero Aug 13, 2012
Ya i agree.. This wud be perfect for me cuz i never consider buying a coupe.. This is practical and fun..
Nathan Curtis Aug 13, 2012
It wont come to the states because it will be too much comp for the crapstang.
Paul Dickey Aug 13, 2012
Reminds you of the brz?
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
Soon enough guys we'll have one. Soon enough....
Brian Gentilezo Nemenzo Aug 13, 2012
This reminds me of the BRZ. Looks awesome!
Lyomp Aug 13, 2012
Why cant this be in the states.. Im mad now
Matt Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
That looks really good!
Alex Vasquez Aug 14, 2012
Fusion with a V8
Tino Nickolas Alanis Aug 14, 2012
These are pretty sweet but I wouldn't want the stripe or colored rims on mine
Avery Dickinson Aug 13, 2012
It looks like a ford fusion
Justin Klumpp Aug 13, 2012
That red diffuser looks cheap. But i like the side stripes
Matt Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
They're pretty sweet!

How is that cheap
Nick Makaia Aug 13, 2012
Ford must be desperate to get these to sell for so cheap
Carlton Salmon Aug 13, 2012
FPV GT ReSPECt!!
Alex Vasquez Aug 14, 2012
It looks like a tuner lol but it's all muscle oddly
Wyatt Gordon Aug 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 Mendoza Aug 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 Parenti Aug 13, 2012
That's a Holden. Not American made. And it's made with GM components. Not the whole car
Wyatt Gordon Aug 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 Parenti Aug 13, 2012
SVT isn't dead? They put out the F-150 Raptor and the GT-500
David Parenti Aug 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 Mendoza Aug 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 Parenti Aug 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 Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
@ Brian, my thoughts exacly! An I know we won't get em lol... I still don't get y but ...
Greg Lewis Aug 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 Fereday Aug 13, 2012
Being it to America this would be the one ford I would buy hahahahah xD
Matt Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
Why don't we get these in Canada/the us? These r some really nice sedans!!
Rick Smiley Feb 14, 2013
Looks like a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT with Charger pinstripes.
Charlie Gayle Aug 14, 2012
Has the same paint as a boss 302 Laguna saca
Oren Blumenstein Aug 13, 2012
i really like that hood line
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
It's a fusion with a big transfusion of awesome implanted into it, lol
Alex Vasquez Aug 14, 2012
Woah!! That'll eliminate that Subaru pick up truck thing
Steve Angelucci Aug 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 Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
I love the sedan but this just looks odd
Ryan Douglas Hie Aug 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.
Jason Cotugno Aug 13, 2012
I agree with Logan
Zach Sullivan Aug 13, 2012
this is wat the ssr should have been a little less flash and a lot more bad ass
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
... For Australians
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
I think this is cool, it's like fords modern day version of the grand ronchero
Logan LeMonnier Aug 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 Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
@Stephen, I ment that in a complementary way. If you read the comment I made on the next photo....
Wyatt Gordon Aug 13, 2012
its ok, but I think the Maloo was better
Greg Lewis Aug 13, 2012
Nose doesnt fit the feel... Needs squared up just a bit
Josh Negron Aug 13, 2012
That's right Stephen! They love/use utes down there like crazy. Many of their cars have ute variants.
Stephen Cobbs Aug 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.
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
You're kidding me right?
Oren Blumenstein Aug 13, 2012
isn't the pursuit a pontiac model?
Carlton Salmon Aug 13, 2012
Whoops, my bad! Lol!
Greg Lewis Aug 13, 2012
True, could use dual. But I'm sure aftermarket will do it. Really feelin the rear of this.
Christian De Prisco Aug 13, 2012
Emm carlton you see double, there Are 2 tips
Carlton Salmon Aug 13, 2012
Erm, Brian, it HAS quad exhaust tips...
Abraham Mendoza Aug 13, 2012
That's just awesome. But I don't get why these cars don't have dual exhaust tips. The "GTO" was the same way.
Peter Mark Gacek Dec 20, 2012
Well the Vauxhall Bathurst VXR is German so it doesn't really compete with an Australian model
John Jenkins Aug 13, 2012
I'd take it like this.
Serge Pankratov Aug 13, 2012
best color combo IMO
Wyatt Gordon Aug 13, 2012
if it was a bit more powerful, it would be good competition for the Bathurst VXR
Jahaziel Ortiz Aug 13, 2012
I'll take a white one
Matt Piccolo Aug 13, 2012
Love the blue and white, not lovin the red though
Jordan Jackson Aug 13, 2012
Don't forget, the Aussie flag uses the same colors, lol
Judah Lindvall Aug 13, 2012
