I can see this car outselling the VolksWagen Golf GTi at that price.

It surely is true. The options are $2000 for Recaro Leather seats, $300 for standard metallic paint & $1800 for the Electric orange Paint as seen @ the motor show.
PS. You will also find the 2 different territory Turbo models @ the mms. 1 of which is a Ghia Turbo which will have a black XR type leather seats, dual Exhaust outlets and 245kw & 480 nm XR6T engine. 18" Wheels & performance brake package. Only in AWD. Ford have certainly done their home work here. |

Gadgetman, have you already been to the motorshow? Or are you just letting us know details now that you dont have to keep it confidential anymore.

Cool, DSC is standard (was told it would be an option!). Guess all I have to do is get my ИИИИ in some Recaro's and see if they're for me.
For anyone having trouble choosing a colour due to Ford AU hardly even knowing whats available with their own cars, here's a quick colour chart I threw together last night to help me decide what I was going to get. I think everything except the dark grey and white model is available (colours taken from the UK website).

 Thats an awesome bit of kit, and even the options are reasonably priced! |

Awesome value...What a bargain.
The only downer in comparison to the Golf is no 6 Speed DSG. Having driven many Golfs I can say that is an awesome tranny. Faster {straight line},smoother and more ecomomical that the Manual. |

What a bargain. Ill take one for a test drive when they are released just to see what its like. Why is that electric orange a 1800 dollar option thiers nothing that special about it.

 : Not a chance. Waiting lists will be massive on this one. The paint is a tri-coat pearlescent paint, goes in and out of paint shop 3 times before completion. A very expensive paint and much longer to paint, hence the higher cost.

I have just recently bought a 2005 Ford Focus Zetec, bit too soon to think about upgrading right now,only had my little pocket rocket about 6 weeks(but believe me I've been thinking about it), I'd love a set of those XR5 rims for starters
.I heard today that are only getting something like 100 in the first shipment so will be quite a waiting list I'd expect.

The paint is a tri-coat pearlescent paint, it physically goes through the paint shop in Saarlouis 3 times before completion. Very complex paint but has to be seen and touched to be believed, it is stunning. Can't wait! I'll be working there the next 3 days so come and say hi if you get a chance!
