I can't inderstand why they still keep it covered up though, I saw it in that trim Sept/Oct last year, I mean the new shape has been oiut for some time now and you would think they would just put it in something like a Sportivo. At least then it wouldn't attract so much attention, unless that's what they are trying to do is get people talking about it, anyway I dare say we will be seeing it up close and personal in a few weeks time at the Melbourne Motor Show.

ah cheap publicity..... easy marketing bucks. If Ford were smart they would do this too... high profile cruising of a prototype FPV or XR around town ... you cant buy that kind of advertising

Not round, more like the shape suggested by the name of a footy or cricket ground as in 'The Adelaide ****'

Plus the rear doors don't follow the wheel arch curve - they are straight, just as in the VE.
