Anybody noticed a Phantom purple XR6 Turbo on the cover or inside any magazines coming out of the UK, Germany, Italy or France? I can only remember the UK mag, which was Autocar and i think the German one was AMS, but the whole basic idea for those who don't know was, late 2002 when Wheels magazine were conducting their car of the year award, the magazines most experienced journalist, Peter Robinson, made the comment that the price of a BA Falcon here was the same as a 2.0L Focus in the UK. That idea led him with the co-operation of Ford Australia to import an XR6T to Europe for 4 top car magazines to road test, no holds bar, how they wanted and see what they thought
