the front bar looks just like a monaro bar... same old design, and the rear end looks like a twwisted squished vy/vz... like the colour though... and the rims look the same... cant wait to see how hsv stuff them up... how much fantastic plastic they can add to make a bodykit...

ok.... i can see a little ba inspiration in the front of the calais..........with the bonnet and seperate chrome strip not attached to it.....

coloured dash on ss looks so much better than wheels mag pics suggested it would...... not too sure about the orange lighting on the cluster but...


i love the stato / caprice... just love it....

on another slight note,
i think ford really need to have one last try with fairlane / LTD before canning it..... it really wouldnt be hard to give people what they want in it....IE turbo 6 and boss 260 and different lights front and rear (Xenon headlights would be a good move).....and a boot garnish
