Curious to know who will be first and what model it will be. I have to wait four months before I get my BFII.

Had a good look at a Maroon BF2 Fairmont ghia today, was the nicest thing on wheels ive seen in a long time, they look wicked with the new headlights and kit, you'd have to be an idiot to buy a VE over one of them!!

Futura looks like a bag of ****, the rear bars changed on the XT / Futura/ Fairmont to, it no longer has the indent for the chrome strip, its just smooth like the FPVs, looks terrible!

The Ghia is much better. I like the revised front grill - makes it look so much better.
 Not to mention the 6spd auto on the base models...

The new front looks very different to VE whoops BA/BF1.
Need to have a look in the flesh to confirm, but I think I could get quite used to the Ghia. |

I drove a base model XL ute the other day and was impressed with the look of it.
The black headlights make it look meaner ... interior looks unchanged though. Was just external cosmetics. Fairmont GHIA has had the most changed to it. Hoping to pick up an XR6 EGAS trayback very soon myself (waiting on SMB). There's one sitting at the dealer at the moment on hold

I should of said soemthing earlier, about the BF's, well about 2 months ago on my way to work i saw around 20 BF series 2 all with no plates and half covered in black plastic at varied times of the day. It looked pretty good, and it turns out the ford in campbelfield were just giving them test runs. But i never saw anything beyond the ghia. Wonder what the gt is gona look like!

Thanks james your parents are so lucky having that awesome thing! Silver really suits it with the chrome front on the grill.
