I've been told that there is a "Ford vs. Holden" special report on Channel 7 news tonight (Friday), for anyone interested. This is in Melbourne, unsure if it's going to be shown nationally.

Hehe, I don't know the details. My speculation is that it will focus on the local carmakers struggling to sell cars and adapt to the fuel prices, market trends, etc.

I've heard it's about the FG Supercar. They're doing straight line runs against the VE to ensure it complies with Project Blueprint.

If report is anything like their recent telecast of the V8supercars at Sandown it will be all about how good the Holden is.
At Sandown (Race 2) the Fords were winning (easily I might add) but all they showed lap after lap of Kelly in his Commodore.

Evening news is usually 6pm, but being a general interest piece, more likely towards the end.
