Hey guys,
Found this on the Ford website. The front bar is a dead ringer of the XR series for the Falcons. Great to see Ford getting their act together with the global design theme http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/Conte...Page&c=DFYPage

The xr5 comes from the german plant (by memory) not the south Africa,which has allready been updated as they supply uk,uk has had new focus since about begining of the year.The rest of the range will get updated in time.

All the other model focuses will be coming out in the new shape (LV) from either end of this year or start of next year.
And the stripes are stuck on.

I drooled over a brand new black XR5T in a showroom last weekend. Sooo hot. We have shipments of the rest of the new range too as ours come from Germany.

Looks great. From the front it's the best looking car in Ford's lineup. Shame the windows are all the same.

is it just me or does the front bumper below the headlights look just like the latest mustang grill and drooping lights?
