I prefer the styling of the BA FPV products. The BF stuff looks too busy at the front and also looks like something the HSV knobs would have styled.

i totally agree.

also arnt the wheels very similar to what hsv had last year?

Makes you wonder what sort of mini-monster the new MkII RS will be...

MeestaNob! · 13-10-2005, 04:38 PM

The Astra looks great, but the interior is still the ugly clusterf**k of the base models.

ST, I mean, XR5 for me then! MMmmmmm, I want a red one.

watever · 13-10-2005, 04:38 PM

any chance of the RS coming down here as an FPV model?

Its apparently has some massive handling issues. Torque steer, huge amounts of understeer, and if you push it too hard, its has some nasty oversteer that bite you in the butt.

They did a review on top gear earlier this year. (and they weren't impressed).

No chance !

Was a limited production run of 4500 which has long since finished.

NC 5ltr · 13-10-2005, 05:49 PM

It doesn't exist, so no i wouldn't have thought the chances are high.

the rear shot of a GT-P

FPV329 · 13-10-2005, 06:15 PM

Thanks watever, looks great. What colour is it- Blue Pearl?

XRated · 13-10-2005, 06:27 PM

Mmm Focus Turbo! I want one. Personally I find it much more exciting than the BF FPV release.

Supa R00 · 13-10-2005, 06:29 PM

OMG i love the Typhoon's new front end, and those grey wheels look HOT!!! heres hoping lotto comes my way soon... lol :P

Agreed.. Will be interesting to see pricing!

I dont like the BF F6 kit or wheels much.. the BA F6 was much nicer! GT is a bit meh too... Both too HSV looking for me

coolkid · 13-10-2005, 06:40 PM

is there any pics of the new hero colour that changes colour or watever it does?

13-10-2005, 06:45 PM

i think its kinda good in way that they are a bit HSV'ish...all we kept hearing form the auto mags and the average punter(im generalizinf my experience here) was that they didnt look aggresive enough...i guess FPV were going for the more refined look until now.

This is a good move...they look down right MEAN now...

I am a fan even if i cant afford to buy one until next February.

f6xer · 13-10-2005, 06:51 PM

Hello to all. This is my first post. Thank you for the pics of new FPV range. I have been awiating for them for weeks. I have ordered a new BF Tornado without knowing what they look like. These pics have finally set my mind at ease and my heart racing.

Yes but on another site. Think it was an XR8. The colour is called fantasy but is now exclusive to the XR range.

Pricing is up in the FPV section now

Perana · 13-10-2005, 06:58 PM

Ah yeah Ive seen BF FPV pricing.. but I was meaning the LS Focus XR5T pricing which isnt out for a while yet!

HSE2 · 13-10-2005, 07:16 PM

My mistake Sorry

FGX-351 · 13-10-2005, 07:29 PM

That would be this one here.

Not a bad device, (and on my list as it happens), but would have been perfect if it got the STi 6 speed box along with the other goodies! :eclipsee_

Psycho Chicken · 13-10-2005, 10:34 PM

Is it being put together over here like the WRP10? If so I'm guessing it's all happening in Sydney, haven't heard anything on it.

6 speed would be nice, I have no idea why they don't put them in the GTs.

MITCHAY · 13-10-2005, 10:36 PM

Lol my boss will be p***ed off now. He just bought a Liberty GT before this one came out. They are pretty quick cars even though his is still being run in. Looks, performance and comfort. If I had $60k to spend, Id be getting a Liberty GT. But for now the TX5 will have to do

: Dammit the new MIVEC lancer will probably kick my **** now!

Yep the guys at Docklands told me it's all being done by them, just like the WRP10. Also sat-nav will be *finally* available from November deliveries apparently. Hopefully our version gets the electronic guage display on-screen like the Jap version - there's no such thing as too much telemetry! :hihi:
