The decision to make the XR8 and rebadge as FPV was no doubt to try and get a higher profit for the car and pay off the R&D that FPV accumulated with the Miami. Since Prodrive walked away, I'm guessing its a strategy that didn't work. The early stripper FG GS was just to low down in value to really take off and later when the GT started to be discounted, the GS was stuck in a no mans land. As for the whole its not a FPV/HSV thing. Marketing. They do improve the cars, they don't transform them with fairy dust. The donor car and shared components are clearly still there to see. Having owned an XR8 and a GT in the past, I'll say for me its not that big a deal and I'm old enough to remember the original GT when they were still young.

On the tax claim debate, I'd rather people claim on an Aussie made V8 than on a foreign made 4 banger.

Particularly considering that premature failure of FG wiper motors has been a common issue for years, to the point where dealerships don't even try to replicate it anymore. Just tell them your wipers stop intermittently half way through the cycle and they'll replace the motor, no questions asked. Ford should have recalled them years ago, it's biting a lot of people outside warranty.
