Yea it loses this comparison with a badass Holden. But I don't care, its sad when one the largest car companies in the world is down to one RWD chassis (as far as I know).
I love the idea of a 420hp turbo charged 4.0L I6, and hell they even have supercharged version of the 5.0L Coyote V8!
I would be REALLY sad if I ever had a opportunity to even drive the car.

I always liked how Australian cars always looked unassuming and boxy under the hood, whereas US cars are all about fancy plastic engine covers.
It's like the designers are like "It's going to get dirty from all your hooning, and no one will look there anyway, so... fuck it!"

It is nice to actually see the engine in an engine bay. Shitty engine covers are a pet peeve of mine.

I'm mostly excited about that i6, because it's awesome and I'd love to swap it into some other Ford (maybe a straight-six Mustang? I haven't really considered any other options since I'm not usually a Ford guy).

Im with you on not normally being a Ford person, But when I had my jeeps in high school a few years back I had dreams of that engine swap. Because 4.0L straight 6 making 420hp instead of 190hp.
