    The few articles I've read reckon that they won't be bringing in the 6 cyl. (all first week speculation so who knows).

    Is there really a demand big enough here? If they can't sell large 6 and 8 cylinder cars anymore I would surprised if they sell too many imported two doors.
    I think the market for 4 door Mustang is even smaller. I might be wrong though I suppose. Maybe they will entice all the younger generation out of 4 cylinders. That is the market Ford and Holden need to crack into. They made cars young people wanted in the 70's. maybe they will work out what they want in the year 2014? They need to stop building cars that were popular in the 70's.
    In the 70's they met the market with Sandmans and Monaros etc. in the 80's Brock built Commodores and then HSV in the 90's took over. But today the same current market want fast small cars. Why can't they see that Torana sized car is what people want today.

    Dude, that has been going on since the VL/Magna in my eyes. All new cars look the bloody same and is the reason the grill badges are the size of dinner plates on most cars these days.

    100% agree there mate. I went and looked at the new commo today...too much Camry styling. Interior was nice though

    we had a look at the new VF calais but too much bling in the interior for me and not real keen on any of the wheels they are offering on any of them

    A Torana sized car with the HSV driveline. Something like the Cruze but better looking with a V8 and manual box......SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!

    Agreed. Late model cars have looked the same for years.

    That's the car they need to build. They need to get with the times.
