Nah I would be shocked to say the least if any aftermarket company gets any limelight at the Ford stand at such a show.
I was going to say happy to be corrected but I wouldnt be, Ford should do their own thing.

WIll actually go this year which will be the first time in more than 15 years! THere just seems to be a few things happening in the car scene and now that they can just concentrate on a 'once a year' thing it should be well worth it.

Sorry that was my waffle for the day But Ford do have some good things in the pipeline that are now coming to fruition if only they can make others take notice ..... hopefully AIMS is a good springboard for things to come!

Two weeks ago the Car Guide at at a bare minimum 80% Holden content..and as you said, rubbish that will never see the light of day. They would report the Holden CEO missing his period if they had too. There was a two page spread on LPG..and guess what, in the ENTIRE article stretching that span the new Ford system was mentioned in one foul paragraph, sentence even. Not even a good article on the work Ford has done to date...zip. Holdens current system got a mini article, HSV's system got the same treatment. Not one exploitative effort made to promote Fords new system...completely zero. I just dont get it, someone has annoyed someone along the line..there is no other explanation other than $$$$.

That Black edition FPV is fantastic. It makes the product very "desirable" which is what you ultimately aim for with your high end models/concepts. Well done FPV.

HSV SV Black edition to be followed by SV M Power edition, SV GT-P edition and SV Scuderia.
Nice how they pay respects to other manufacturers.

The HSV black edition is a blemish on the beautiful name of Black, if I was AMG I would be taking them to court and having them remove it...seriously its a nothing more than a crap car with a few stickers a old left over motor. So dissapointed with what they delivered. No power increase so as I said its a sticker special.....shame on you HSV Shame.... FPV only made the mistake of creating a concept car that really could go into Production, there appears to be no real creativity in that concept to be honest. Holdens more recent concepts have been Effigy and the Torana concept. FPV should make it a special run and create 50-100 of the cars to see exactly who would put the dollars up for one.

They could have displayed the EcoLPI in a more flattering colour, couldn't they? It looks like Ice Mint there... say it isn't so.

I'm quite the fan of this little Rio, 1.6L turbo diesel one in manual would be a pretty sweet affair. |

Kia have lifted their game recently ... I think they are really trying to take in Hyundai to get a bit of market share.
