Territory / Territory Turbo, really the best thing Ford Australia has ever built!

Falcon is good but very dated now, and definately needs a new steering components, driving a Falcon is like driving dead weight compared to the Territory, its quite obvious when you swap between them on a regular basis.

It would have to be an F6 Typhoon or an Focus XR5. Wouldn't consider anything else.

I trade my AU on a GT or F6 iwithout a second thought if I could afford it and the Mrs would let me. Sure Tickford is nice and has all that tradition etc etc, but nothing beats the smell of a new car.

Focus XR5!!! I would love to get my hands on one of these. I've spoken with a few people that have driven them and loved them and I think they look great too!

Falcon or FPV. Which one, I don't know. Comes down to how I feel at the time.

I like the F6 typhoon for sure. Personally i think the best built would probably be an escape or a fiesta.. something NOT built by ford australia!

White typhoon with the gold 19's and two big gold stripes going over the bonnet and roof to rear.

Someone did a photoshop of a ute not so long ago (2 months) and it looked horn.

Deffinately the F6. Such an amazing car. Makes me want to forget about getting a house loan at the moment, and getting an F6 instead.

1) My favorite Ford currently for sale in Aus is the F6 Typhoon, though that will soon change when the FPV Force 6 comes out. If worldwide then it is the Ford GT(40).

2) Most well put together - Hmm anything not built in Australia or America - so guessing Focus or Fiesta.

My favourite would have to be Ford GT and for build quality it's a toss between the Mondeo and Focus.
