Default will ford !

Will ford bring out another few more different colours in its falcon range ? Orange, greens, reds, pink, eww!, yellows, blacks, it would be nice too see a few more bright colours out

It is a shame that ford isnt going to bring out a xr6 wagon, i know i proberly buy one if they ever did :-(

New colours would be nice, but blacks the only one for me.

What bright colours are you into?

Secondly, there used to be an XR6, and it did not sell enough to justify keeping.

Of all the people that say, "I'd buy one if they released it", a minute proportion would actually put their money where their mouth is.

I think Ford is dead right in not spending any large amounts on its wagon, and the Territory is the way to go as a family wagon.

Theres an up and a downside to these "hero colours"

The pro is they look great now and different and highlight the new model etc

The con as soon as the next colour is released your car is superseded plus they have terrible resale value because they are "old"

Also the factors of paint quality and matching etc

I think the bright colour fad is waning. Traditional colours like reds, deep blues, black etc are coming back.

Winter white is obviously the best colour though!

Pfft, white is the basic colour choice for those that just can't seem to make there mind up over another, vibrant or bright colour! :

No BF3 Futura is no good though.

The Territory is an awesome vehicle and I'd love one for the family, but sadly they're still out of my price range.

Also, the ball joint thing isn't great, and they're a pig on fuel. I know many have happily put their Terri on LPG, which is great, but it's still a bit out of my reach.

I think my next family car will be an BF2 Futura Wagon on dual fuel LPG. Much cheaper to buy, convert and run and will do everything the Territory does.

Holdens just brought out another green, there's the Hulk green and lighter shade thats not very popular but the new one is Poison Ivy Green I think, its a very dark shade. Ford have had some awesome shades of green in the past too.
