Default One for all you XR fans - an XR50!

Spotted this today in New Zealand and thought it might be of interest to some.
Ford Falcon (looks like a Mondeo) XR50

Much nicer than the crappy Falcons I had when I lived over there.

As I understand it, these are only V6s (limited edition model) and they are still doing the XR8. I'd go for the FPV GT if funds allowed

As far as I can tell this one's the Turbo model which means it has a turbocharged 4.0 litre straight 6

These are pretty common out here.


The xr8's FPV's are the way to go.. Go like a scalded cat as they say in NZ.
Completely different interiors to the Mondeo but a similar shape.
