HA HA Yeah. Sack the marketing department and have members of this forum to judge new commercials.

Also adopt the "Eco-Boost" technology for the Falcon & Territory V6 in 2010 running on LPG with fuel economy figures at 7.0L/100Ks city cycle.
XR6 Turbo will develop 300KW and 560NM while only using 10 litres of fuel per 100KMs.
Finally do what ever it takes to get a V8 Falcon, (GT-HO) to knock the W427 of it's perch, ether supercharge the current 5.4 or adopt at new bigger engine.

That would be good if it were possible in reality but I guess I can still dream.

Hopefully the new Boss is an aussie, the Yanks are nothing but fly by nighters who see the job as nothing but another step to a further promotion, whereas the aussie bosses care about the place and its people ie. Jac Nasser and Geoff Polites.

In his statement he said he has had a new 5 year plan implemented and ratified by Ford HQ and that plan includes exports, but I don't know whether that means Falcon and Territory or just Focus as has been confirmed.


Looks like 3 day weeks for me until November with a few whole weeks off in between. This place is a basket case.

Wasn't he the guy who replaced Bill Osborne when he came to Australia? Something's up.
