no,

He was directly responding to Fordoldie's comments on tweaking the car before a review to falsify peformance and 1/4 mile times during a magazine/test comparison

Read Fordoldie's and Falc'mans comments again and you will see no where does fuel consumption even enter into their discussions

Not grey at all actually; meanwhile back on topic...

I'm probably considering a ute as well for the first time ever because I do a lot of kms by myself and often need to carry various things so will be in the same "boat" as you - excuse the pun...

Your right, im not so phased on the ride, i'll deal with it if the car is balanced and doesnt feel like im going to be thrown out the window. I think somehow, im gonna have to save some money for some aftermarket suspension and brakes too if there the same.
It will be interesting to compare the VE to the Orion, especially since its a manual that i want, and the Current XR8 in manual form can only tow 1200kg opposed to the SS's 1600kg. I want to be able to tow my brothers race car, so hopefully ford can offer me something that can do it rather than an auto (yuk).
