Ford BA GT

[fpv_gtho]

Jacques Nasser was the one to blame for the AU's styling as he was the one who pushed to incorporate Fords "new wdge" designing of the time for american and some european vehicles like the focus, mondeo etc and look where that left old Jac

[LowRider]

Did that bloke get fired? and anyone know who designed the VY Commodore? could it have been the same bloke mabey?

[fpv_gtho]

Jacques Nasser was the head of Ford Oz and left to take ova Ford Global just b4 AU went on sale. sometime late 2001, he was fired and replaced by William Clay Ford Jnr. ova the Explorer/Firestone lawsuits in America. the man who designed the VY was Mike Simcoe and he recieved alot of shit when people said it looked like the Magna. now Geoff Polites is head of Ford and with things like FPV, the BA and E265/Territory, is getting Ford earning profits again and closer to large car market share, and hopefully with the release of the Focus, and 2004 release of the Fiesta, may get Ford back as number 1 in the sales

[LowRider]

Good they should both get fired, and about ford getting no.1 on the sales they have a good chance but give them a few more years then the might get there

[fpv_gtho]

well last financial year, the BA hadnt even been out for a year and Ford oz were already back making profits. which do u thinks gunna be more successful: the territory or aventra (i think thats what its called)

[LowRider]

yeah it is called the adventura ummm good question holden havent really had a good 4wd in a while and fords explorer had a couple of problems. The adventura is a good looker id say it looks better then the territiory. Id say the adventura only because im a Holden fan. what about you?

[fpv_gtho]

i think the adventura, or adventra whatever its called will struggle against the territory because the holden is clearly a jacked up commo, whereas the territory, although has a ford oz look to it, doesnt look like a falcon

[LowRider]

Any pics of the territory?

[LowRider]

Hey its more like a jacked up Calais or Berlina. but theres nothing wrong with that.

[fpv_gtho]

this ones a pic ford oz secretly took of their test drivers testing on fraser island beaches

[LowRider]

ehhh not bad but it looks to bland. I reckon the Holden looks better

[fpv_gtho]

yeah but ford hasnt realeased pic of the version carrying the turbo six yet, that one may end up meing more like R7 with its 20 inch wheels and sharp styling

[crisis]

They are both wanks. No good as road cars and no good as 4wds. Not that it matters muchat the moment.

[LowRider]

Turbo six on a 4wd what next V8 in a focus?.
if that has 20 inch wheels that would look really really really good

[fpv_gtho]

crisis u need to realise that a good 4wd doesnt mean a diff lock and all round beam axles. ford or holden arent making these for die hard 4wd fans
