better than the nieghbours car . ohh really. i was kinda thinking the look of the xrs body kit , interior and suspension over the xt is what makes people buy them . ummm performance wise 195kws is kind of v8 supercar ( road ) of 10 years ago. . 157 with a 4 speed is kind of 10 year old 6cy tech . still good . but sux gas at huge rate . people will buy regardless . but one must really look at the savings viability . remember the aussie built 4 litre is the pinnicle aussie engine with loads of technoligy to date , petrol wise . LPG IS NICE but we need to compare economy, power loss, luxury deletions like modern gear boxes . , purchase price, and lpg taxes and prices compared to petrol. |

If you want a 5 speed LPG version just wait until next year, because DSI's contract is over then. And it will most likely be injected LPG too. Better off waiting 9-10 months if this version is for the 3rd quarter.

Yeah but what has the XR6 become? A poverty pack with bling? They've created a new legend and rubbished the old hero. XR6 used to mean something special, now its just an S-Pack. The flow on effect of Ford doing that to the XR6 model is that most of the XRs you see on the road now are family runabouts, you're lucky if you see an 8 or a Turbo. In effect the whole range has been tarnished, not just the XR6.
As for selling cars to joe average non-enthusiast, Ford should get the best possible 21st century gas system into the each XR (6,T,8 sedan and ute) asap! Might even sell some to the hardcore enthusiasts... Quote:

Personally I'd never touch an E-gas until the fuel system is upgraded to SVI or LPI and the ZF 6HP 26 transmission is made optional. There's plenty of room for improvement for the 14.9L/100km combined consumption figure.
Regards, Dave
