Just bought a 2011 FG XR6 traded my BAII XR6T Ute with 85K on the clock, so impressed I have gone non turbo now, have not even test driven the car I am buying, never do when I buy ford, never been let down in the past 12 years with them

@soseg VE has a nicer steering wheel feel and has better seats.. The seats in the FG are to flat. The old VE's interior didn't have very good colour choices, mostly grey =\. Series 2 they have fixed it though.

@soseg ford's v8s***

@danoconnell427 i dont know what planet you live on. the last decade or so interior has been better with the falcons than the commodores. sound... comes down to personal choice. holden cant make a good 6cylinder engine just like ford's in recent decades have been crap
-
@turbodewd Interior in no longer an issue in the Series 2... They just now need a force fed V6. This is a possibility in 2014 VF with a 2.8tt V6 (Although the highest likely output in 250kw and 440nm) I'm personally a Holden fan but I have to say Fords 4L 6 is a fantastic engine!
-
@soseg Holden's V6 engines I think have always had a better sound.. partly because they rev higher. The interior of the BA/BF xr8 was a bit cheesy compared to a VZ/VY SS. The only crap V6 Holden puts in there Commodore is the 3.0L V6..
-
@danoconnell427 i aint checked the figures on the latest v6 engines with all the sidi stuff that holden are doing now as i dont follow the holden vs ford thing anymore. my figures are based on the original FG versus the original VE... the original VE engines were shite when it came to v6s
-
@soseg 2011 XR6 0-100 7.2sec 2011 SV6 0-100 7.2sec... The old alloy-Tech 190 and 4L 6 Ford were also close!
-
@danoconnell427 See my other reply RE: fuel economy etc, but to reply to your statement that the VE is designed and built in OZ, the Falcon is too.
VE is the only Commodore to be designed from Scratch in OZ as all previous Commos were originally designed / shaped by OPEL (Rekord and Omega).
Cheers.

@mif73 Yeah i was just talking about the 5.4l . i was surprised the Fg did better then the Ve . Holdens billion dollar baby only managed 4 stars .
5 star safety, even without the $300 option side curtain bags in the back, more safety/gears/power/torque/much quicker and fuel efficient than the Crumbledore, yet cashed up bogans who still don't realise their precious holden is 100% owned by GM USA will still buy a VE. (not to mention the V8 is crated from Mexico). -I don't get it!! :(

2 weeks ago I got my G6E-T, best ford I have ever owned and best car I've ever owned. I had a W220 2002 S500, it was nowhere near as fun to drive and cost a bomb (had a total left hydraulic suspension failure on the M4, dashboard light cost $1800 installed). Now ford are as safe or safer... BRILLIANT. Anyone who likes cars and wants safety should look no further than our own home grown Ford. Well done to everyone on the best ford we have ever made.
