FE/FC Start making Italian model s again ?

Agreed, witness the rise of Hyundai. They are now a quality product far removed from the stuff of even 10 years ago.
They are now the 4th largest automaker (And cars is more of a hobby for them )

As with all things, the chinese CAN build a good copy, some are great, some are built down to a price & suffer as a result.
Hope the Shineray Husky comes out.

DM I think this is the site Boogie posted it. Hope so.

Te630 in the background.

I they use original tooling, quality components and wire them better, winner winner chicken dinner !

On a side note, Kia sold 2.6 million cars worldwide last year.
They're head designer is an ex Audi designer, Hyundai are a top quality heavy plant manufacturer, they're machines are great.

As for the car industry, Korea and Japan are leaving the west for dead.

Well at least the new Ford Motor family car is going to be a Mustang from 4cyl to 5.4lt tyre eating monster. Yeah baby bring that to me .

W

I'll stick with my 550hp (at wheels) falcon xr6 turbo, I'd love a mustang but Australia pays through the nose for them, $120-$140,000 aud. Absolutely disgusting.

The Mustang is going to be the new Ford Falcon, G6e , Futura,Typhoon and GT 2.3lt producing 321hp and up to 5.4lt producing 670hp. Pretty impressive.
Yes I understand what you mean with your xr6 , my young bloke a a F6 typhoon with this new fandangle goodies around the same HP as yourself , But I cant help just romping him in my old 1980 XD ford Fairmont , sorry rabskyline i'm a bit old school and love BIG CARBY HP V8'S these new hairdryer cars just dont sound the same as a nice old V8 . My old girl makes 607 BHP on a carby a just rumbles the ground , fuel wise it's crap , but sound makes up the difference to fuel cost and a 4800 converter.

I don't think the Mustang will be 'our' family car here in Aus.
It'll be some front or AWD model.

DM FOR 2015 THE NEW LARGE SIZE FORD WILL BE THE MUSTANG. My good lady works for Ford and I was invited to the New 2015 Australian Mustang unvailing for Australia. The only one we had on view was the 5.0Lt . No we also cant have piss ant FWD or AWD . We need muscle cars . you are the same age as me and you would remember the movie RUNNING ON EMPTY. {green is nice} and {dont burn the snatch kev} yeah I remember that well the GT racing the FC . You would also remember PISSOFF and the spag.

The V6 'Stang will not be offered in Australia; instead the base model here will be fitted with Ford's new 2.3-litre turbo four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which delivers 227kW/407Nm and costs $US25,995 Stateside, or around $A28,000.

When the sixth-generation Ford Mustang arrives in Australia in the second half of next year, making ours one of the last markets to get the car, it is expected to be priced from around $40,000.

The range-topping Mustang GT will be priced from $US32,925 ($A35,600) in the US, representing a rise of $1715. The GT is propelled by an upgraded 5.0-litre V8 that belts out 313kW/529Nm and, like the EcoBoost model, has been confirmed for Australia.

All three models will be available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

New standard features across the US Mustang line-up will include eight airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, reversing camera, HID headlights, fully independent front and rear suspension, push-button starting, leather-clad steering wheel with height and reach adjustment and next-generation SYNC AppLink control of smartphone apps via a 4.2-inch colour display.

I'm hearing ya !
I'd love a clevo 5.7L xd but my 1000nm taxi does 8L/100 on highway and 10/100 combined

Anyway, I'd love a mustang , my last ride in one was my cousins Mach1 in West Virginia, 1981, black, white stripes, T bar auto, jelly bean mags, beer in the back seat going to a college American footy game ....ah the memories, or is that mammary's ? (Cousins chick friends were stunning )


Anyway, where was I ?

Ah yes, mustangs........love em !

Mr ford, if that's a real deal, I'll be selling my left nut to buy one !

Mine ended up a 393ci and about 23lt /100kms . I would love a 1971 Mustang with a blown clevo and two carbies. But would love a F450 , Bigger tractor ,1946/1948 Dodge Power Truck , yzf450 Quad, Triumph Rocket 3 , mmmm the list goes on. and a TE300

I'm a huge vtwin fan also, had a nice Ducati that I sold for a newer model gsx750, worse decision in my life (bike wise) ..

Anyway, I'd buy one of these if they were up to scratch, especially a te630, Let this 10yr immigrant see more of the beautiful island known as Australia.

The world needs more TE 630's. They are excellent bikes!

I'm sure we'll get stangs. Only they won't be our family car.
No good for a school mum with only 2 doors.....
There'll be another car for families.

Back to topic, yes Moto, Chinese can do a convincing copy

Yes it will be nice seeing a mustang towing a 25ft caravan down the road just like a commodore it will become 2inchs longer.

And yes those chinese produce bikes that look OK but........ Cruising down the highway front wheel falling off there goes the the chain , mmmmmm

Australia yeah its a awesome place , I love it.

rabskyline what country are you from . If you dont mind me asking.

Scottish mate.

No problems mate , and you even use aussie slang , yes mate im half/half 50%Scottish 50% Aussie but family history comes from scotland .

I use all sort of slang, most of my Glaswegian Scottish would go right over most folks heads, hence the local stuff, when in Rome and all that !
