If the new Orion range will have a 290 kw XR8 that has the old GT's engine and the new Fairmont Ghia Turbo will have the typhoon's 270 kw Turbo six, whats the point of having FPVs anymore? The Force6 and Force8 have been discontinued and i see little point in making a new GT with a V8. Turbo six is the way to go, they (FPV) could easily bring out a 400 kw turbo six with All options as standard (like the old LTD) that would blow alway any pushrod V8 dinosaur from Holden/HSV, and also fords own DOHC V8. I doubt they will do that tough, so is there really a point in having a new FPV model?

Force6 is the G6E-T (Fairmont Ghia)
Force8 is the GT-E. so neither of the Forces have been discontinued, they have a new name. |
