Smile BF Falcon & SY Territory

At last BF Falcon and SY Territory finally went onto the production line today. Ready for the Sydney Motorshow and the dealerships. Must I say a vast improvement on seat trim except the XT. Shocking is the only way i can explain it, maybe it will look alright once in the car. But when it comes down the production line, I don't like it one bit. Hopefully it sells like the BA

Seat trim isn't terrible hard to change anyway. If it proves extremely unpopular it will possibly be dropped or given a alternative. XT will only be for fleets really anyway, I would imagine our old friend the SR will reappear with in a few months, with neat trim, 17"'s, sports suspension and some more equipment, to which most private or small leases will perfer to pov pack cheapo XT.

I really want to take a look at a BF.. I was in a BA the other day and noticed I am becomming increasingly critical of small things.. Like the low quality plastics/finish on the door grab/armrest.

Does anyone know when exactly they will hit the showrooms?

I take it if they are on the production line, you no-longer can order a MK2?

From the looks of it, Ford appears to be marketing the XT more towards average Joe than the fleet market. Fancy new wheel designs, a sweet body kit and finally a half decent V8.

I actually like the BF XT interior trim better than BA. Looks alittle "sportier"
