How about a new Galaxy? :)

This was displayed at a recent Ford Performance Vehicles open day.
It's not an official concept just something the guys at fpv put together based on the Fairlane we have here in Australia.
390hp 5.4 Boss motor, 20's and lots of chrome pics dont do it justice!!!

Would this sell in the U.S?

Thumbs up

I like it. Reminds me of 94-96 Impala SS. I think the stance really sets it off. I wish Ford would have imported that instead of the underwhelming Mercury Marauder.

I like it... I just think that the wheel-camber is a bit extreme... it almost looks like it hit a jump and took some abuse on the landing

Nice looking car! Too bad the ride would feel like the wheels were bolted to the frame!

I am not a fan either. The front looks weird and the use of chrome doesn't sit right with me, especially the strip on the side of the car. The wheels don't do anything for me either. Ford should not waste time with this one and instead work on the Falcon.

I like it. It doesn't blow me away or anything, but I certainly think it looks good.
