Was really excited when they announced the N Series i30. Looks better than the Golf, Focus and especially the Civic which I think will date very quickly. Being a bit less refined and more raw than the others can be just as much fun too. Hope you have some nice twisty roads nearby!

Certainly do, don't pick it up for a month mind you, I test drove someone else's.
Much better value than the others and still reasonably equipped

Awesome news, great to see Ford officially back in the fold.
I wonder if they were waiting to see sales figures of the Mustang before making a full committment

Great news.
Just need Holden to drop the Commodore for the Camaro and Chrysler to come in with the Challenger and we will have an American muscle car series that the USA would be envious of.

Except its not a mustang.
Just as the ZB is not a commodore.
Its just composite panels on a control chassis a la nascar.
Absolute BS.

It's good in the sense that it will excite the Ford fans but yeah, I worry for the long term success of this.
The novelty of the Mustang won't last long I don't think.

Less important is the pretend model of the car being raced, more important that Ford are back in an official capacity.

I think this is Ford dipping their toes in the water again. It makes total sense to do it with the Mustang, particularly while Holden continue to run the Commodore in V8 capacity.
Sales figures suggest the Mustang will be here for a while, it's dominating the Commodore in the showroom, mostly because the Commo is a deadset lemon.

I was talking to a mechanic friend of mine last week, he's done the 1 month service on a couple and he reckons it's the Cruze situation all over again. Poorly built and has no Australian appeal.

Lends further credence to a lot of people's belief that Holden won't be around in 5 years time.
Haha, not really!

GM and Ford will always be around, but it's a huge test for the formers marketing department who now can't rely on the Commodore to prop up sales.
GM need to weather the storm until the next gen Camaro comes out. Conversion prices will make the current gen Camaro DOA.

And this is their (Holdens) issue. People don't care now, And when people stop caring then a company is in strife

Yeah, I think they look quite nice but unremarkable. Also think they should have run with Insignia instead of Commodore to help avoid the inevitable comparisons (somewhat).
