You know this doesn't fair to well with the Rudd's policy on Interest Rates.

After seeing these pics, now eveyone is going to get a loan and buy one of 'dem.

LMAO!

Gauges gone again or replaced inside HID

Relocated starter button (ignition key still required?)

No wide rubber on SP?

Pursuit looks amazing. Alot better than the too bulky Maloo IMO.

Wonder if the starter button will still be a 2 handed affair.

that trim is not for me!!! lol

tacho now has a redline!!!

tyres look so small in the guards, and without the door moulds, the car looks very slab sided/plain. especially in the close up of the front quarter.

LOVE the way the handbrake boot is intergrated into the centre console too!

A few points of interest:

Still the same crappy Territory Turbo rear brake calipers on the SP. Extremely disappointing FPV. You'd have thought they would have lifted their game and fitted Brembo's to the rear. In fact, a real p!ss poor effort. This really eats at me and put's me off buying another FPV ute.

Where's the leather seats in the SP? Aren't they standard on the BF? Mine has leather? Let me guess an optional extra at a premium price?

Where's the bigger tyres?

Are all FPV's getting the same level of DSC and launch control as their Ford counterparts?

Where's the gauges that make FPV's so exclusive? Another cost cutting measure IMO.

Looks like the front Brembo's are the same as the BF's Brembo's, just reversed. I hope that's the case, 'cause if it is I will be buying a set of 355mm rotors and 6 piston Brembo's for my TTG - stuff buying a F6X.

Maybe a G6E will be my next vehicle.

Perhaps more likely this is where the new FPV build number badge goes?

Dissapointing to see they dont put the indicators in the Mirrors like the G6....

The Super Pursuit doesnt really excite me, the rear badges look , its still got the same wheels, and the dash looks rather bland...

The thing is they were all designed with left hand drive capabilities, but then the LHD export deal was canned and it was too late to change the design.

Can anyone see a button for the spotties ?? Or do they only come on with high beams now ?
