It would be very Ford-esque to advertise the "biggest moment in our first 20 years" for an updated model and a different colour special edition

Someone tell me the ladder in the back of that work ute isnt just a step ladder!
How embarrasing, that will appeal to all the metrosexuals who need to fit a half a ladder and a bag of potting mix in the back...ahahahah!

This is what FPV usually do, release a model with a new colour and maybe different interior stitching and badge ie. nothing special.

However just days ago we get a long awaited power increase and a genuinely nice upgrade, and then HSV does wat FPV 'usually' do ...

Actually the Holden release is the Sportwagon which is a Concept hence the E85 but the Sportwagon will be release in Q2 of 2008 minus some of the extras on the concept model

The HSV releases are the Maloo (which was an obvious release so not really a big surprise) and the 20th Anniversary Grandpa model. HSV are the one's that claimed the "biggest momment" and have produced a let down (at the moment, still the possibility of another surprise)

Holden Unveil = :sm_headba
HSV Unveil = sleep:

And? Ill be damned if anything relatively dirty is going in the back of mine. They are smart, and Ford offers the Super Pursuit; and if they had the cash IRS would be in the back of them.
