What is better a bf falcon xr6 or a ve commodore sv6?

[falconlover]

I think that the bf xr6 looks more agressive especialy at the front. One thing i would like ford to do, is to make the xr6 version at least 200kw. Therefore holden would be lieing in the xr6's dust! e

Considering that this is a FORD forum I think we all know the outcome of this thread.

[Dazza XLT]

Drive them both... Test drive.
This is a Ford Forum. Not the best place to get un-biased opinions!
Go the XR!

[falconlover]

Ne 1 think that ford should add more power to compete with commodore?

[Ryan]

lol of course the majority of people here, are going to choose the XR6 over the SV6.

It's a FORD FORUM!!!!.









That being said, I would probably take the XR6 over the SV6. Although I do like the look of the SV6.

[AU-MUSTD]

I would take the sv6 because the commo has a much nicer interior and every second car is an xr these days so it'd be nice to be in something different for a few years

You'll honestly get a slanted opinion :

But BF is the choice

BF is better in my honest opinion

[MoreHPformyXR6]

Need to ask that question on a Nissan or Mitsubishi forum etc. Asking that question is like asking the same question on LS1 forum actually should run a poll on both forums & divide answer by 2. But I agree would be great if BF Mk II XR6 was 200 kw. Have have not read a heap about VE SV6 as yet but is that 200 kw? My unbiased opinion would be drive em both & look at what you get for your dollars change over etc. Then make your decision based on those factors. Some Holden supporters would never drive a Ford (that was probally me a while ago but im glad I drove my Ford & em vary happy with it). Im sure there would be Ford supporters that would never drive a Holden.

I vote for the XR too!
Considering the BF rose from 182kw to 190kw would suggest 200kw aint far off.
Although i am glad they aren't going with the BF2 front on the XR/FPV cars.

ahhh that new front looks like a small brick building in the back yard with the sole purpose of waste management!

[Smoke Pursuit]

SV6 all the way, looks so much more euro and refined, the BF looks like an EA now, sad but my opinion only.

[BPXR6T]

SV6, the BF is started to look dated.

[MoreHPformyXR6]

Just for some actual fact
Wheels magazine did a camparision between
BA XR6 4 spd Auto Vs VZ SV6 5 spd Auto
The BA one the comparision (if it was a transmission comparision - SV6 would have won hands down)
I think the BA won in a large part to its more compliant & better suspension set up.

The same magazine did a camparision when BF was realeased.
BF XR6 fitted with ZF 6 Spd vs VZ SV6 Auto 5 spd
The BF won hands down. Its obvious that the VE is a car with massive improvements on the VZ though.

I voted SV6 as just on looks alone I think it looks even better than BF XR6 thats looks very good. I just cant see the BF could be quite as refined as VE as its a whole new platform. All that said if Ford was alot more price competitive than Holden which I feel they may have more margin to play with. Im sure the SV6 might only a few % better over all (cant see there would be alot in it)

I'm a Ford man through and through, but honestly I think that between the two pic's above the the new VE commo in silver look's HOT, I like the XR's but the VE just look's good, maybe it's because it's new and the BA/F is older and I'm used to the look, but honestly I like that pic above off the VE.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

I would say the bf xr6.

I love the styling of the front bar of the bf and it looks sleeker then the ve. The ve looks like an astra rather then a commodore im my opnion.
It looks too small to be a family car.

[TUF_302]

Of course this is going to be a landslide poll for the BF, its a Ford biased forum for christ sake!! :

[EFFalcon]

VE looks better
BF looks old

won't go any further until theres some kinda performance comparison.

[galaxy xr8]

Maybe it's because off the aggresive stance the VE has in that pic and the BF is taken from a lower angle and look's like it has a 4wd stance, I think it's just the pic's but in those pic's the VE look's better.

[Cheahman]

I still think the BF looks better. I wasn't that impressed when I saw the VE range in the flesh last week.

[FordFan86]

Do those mags like the Typhoon ones to anyone else at a glance?

[DJM83]

I hate cars with big bodykits that are undertyred. That said i think in some pics thats what appears to be happening to the VE (it maybe just the stance) although it isnt a bad looking car, id prefer the BF although it looks dated next to the VE

[falconlover]

i think the all new orion falcon will be the biggest event in ff history. I do agree with some of you the au side panels are dating very quickly!!

[falconlover]

MoreHPformyXR6 the sv6 commo is 195kw compared to fords 190kw but ford has 383nm of torque which beats holdens 340nm.

[ClevlndStemer]

i'd like to drive both before i make a decision.

[MoreHPformyXR6]

Vote as is 46 votes 78% BF 22% VE
I reckon is this was on LS!

I would be 5% BF & 95% VE IMO

[falconlover]

i'm thinking of buying an ford falcon xr6 bf in toxic

[Tropicsnude]

What a bloody stupid place to ask such a question
However... During my research process for a new car recently I test drove a few cars, including SV6, 380 VRX as well as a Lexus and BMW.
No doubt the Lexus & BM felt a little more luxurious, and were definitely quieter than any Oz vehicle I drove, but to justify the extra 40K plus was totally impossible ! A little less tyre noise, and a few more buttons to get confused by aint worth 40K plus in my book !
The BF certainly compared though to them in "feelable" power and handling, not to mention the loads of extra space.
See..... I'm not a die hard Ford fan.... but I'm certainly sold on the BF, along with **** loads of those sensible souls buying them.
Sure, I've spent some $$$ on mods since buying, but the basic vehicle is already world class, and with a few goodies added becomes a world beater !
BTW.... 190 kw is a distant memory for me, with well over 200 kw being generated (170 plus rwkw), and still a little further tuning to be sorted.
In my mind there is simply nothing else out there at present that can compare in the same class, without spending **** loads more for very little gain.
Although my next will definitely be a MK 11 BF XR6T..... Must have the "Ford" bug after all :Reverend:
Cheers
Tony

So c'mon, whats better? A GTHO, Charger or Torana??

[EASYBOSS]

pointless poll on a ford site
