Ah yes but i think FPV in the majority of cases are told to work with what theyre given, although that probably changed when Prodrive got involved.
For those not in the know, the now retired David Flint, who ran Tickford Australia since its inception was the ex Aston Martin CEO guy

Ahh maybe thats the connection with Aston, Even jag has the similar centre screen, I seen a pic of a 05 model very similar but hard to tell as they use black a bit and i cant find a big good pic.

No doubting where the inspiration for the Falcon's dashboard came from - Ford Australia made no secret of the fact they used the Mondeo's dash as a starting point.Originally Posted by Clivey
As to quality - I have driven the current Mondeo while in NZ. The plastics seemed hard and coarse to me - but were well put together. Being the newer design, it seemed to me the Falcon has the higher quality, better "feel" dashboard plastics - though they are still pretty hard and coarse. And having driven numerous BA Falcon's I've yet to have reason to criticise how well put together the Falcon's dash is - it is well built.

One of the things that bugs me is that european cars have tendancy of expiring where our cars just keep going.....so you have options sitting there with a radio knob in your hand or sitting their waiting for a tow truck...i dont know about you but i can live with out a radio

I think where reliability became more of a concern for us than for Europeans is how many of us may find themselves 200 miles in the middle of nowhere trying to get somewhere, whilst with how populated Europe has become, your never too far away from help.

But still the thought of lucas electric equiped car going zap on the side of the autobahn and tilt tray being needed isnt a thought i like the idea of (and apprently you get fined for breaking down running out of fuel in some countrys along the autobahn)

I was stuck in the middle of nowhere with 200km from home, I got home with 2 gears I don't think many overseas cars would do that when 40deg heat outside and 300,000km ish on the clock. Not even once did it over heat.
