Default XR8 Deleted from the Ford Website
I havnt heard any official news from Ford but I notice the XR8 is no longer listed on ford.com.au

is it do you think because they havnt updated the information reflecting the new "Miami" V8 or is this a sign that Ford Oz will only sell 4,5 & 6 cyl cars and FPV will be the arm that sells V8's ???

Oh come on guys, look at his post count. I assume by the low post number that he's not here everyday/hour/min... like some people (myself included), so how would he know there's a dedicated Coyote area?

Mate go to the "Ford Passenger Car" area, and in "Performance" you will see a section called "Coyote Power", there you'll find allot more info than just the V8 section.

Also helps to do a quick "search" on the top blue bar.

Have fun!

ADZ351, the XR8 will be back in the not too distant future - barring the unforeseen.
