At least ford are offering something new with their version new front bar and also romured to be testing in sweden with the cutouts filled with coolers for WTA Setup which suggests larger amount of boost and therefore more power

:hmmm: Black Edition to me means one colour "BLACK", not accents and special plates.

... And then we have this latest offering from FPV/F F FF FFF FFFF...I can't say it.

I saw it at the Motorshow and its ####ing boss.

It has such an agressive stance to it, looks a billion times better than the HSV's with black wheels.

Also, yes, currently it is a concept. But they havent ruled out putting it into production. They said they will see how much interest there is for it after the motorshow...and theres a lot.

I just cant believe HSV put out this nonsense.

Saw them today at the car show, the Matte black finished items are all plastic, even the hsv badges looked and felt like plastic, they still look nice but for that much money it seems tacky to me..... However, the rims are sweeeeeeeeeet and the new red is like fluro, eye catching that's for sure.

The new GT does look good, but too much black IMO. I reckon it would look good in silver, with the black wheels.

I've seen the motor show pics and they don't look as good as the above one. Still a nice car, but I don't think it's anything spectacular.

Anyway as for HSV's "Black Edition" I don't think they look that bad. The wheels IMO look far nicer than the GT's.

i have to say, saw the black edition at the motor show, and it looks very poorly finished. yes the rims looked sweet in black, but the plastic vents in the front guards and bonnet looks soo ####ing cheap! ebay special cheap. looked very unfinished and a last minute addition to the car. yes its limited production but the GTS sitting next to the black editions were 327kw (from memory)

black accents

Although i believe the black themed fad will fade out eventually , they look way better with the black accents i reckon

I read some where that they are in production now ? Too be honest the Holden black edition is a retaliation to the FPV black edition .... We need new ideas seriously! Not do it because they did it bullshit
