Probably just wishful thinking :) Still, it'd be very *nice* wishful thinking though, as the current transmission is absolutely piss poor...

The remainder of the trannies & gearboxes remain unchanged. 12 months after BAII a 6-speed auto will be available on all premium models. The 4-speed auto will be retained only on the poverty pack. > Not so certain about the 6 speed auto - will ask next month when I get back > to work [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > Regards, > > > Noddy. > Update for you Bill.

They're going to continue to release cars with that piece of sh.t T5 box? Obviously, the upper management at Ford never drive any of their own products, or they'd see to it personally that the current 5 speed is dropped from the range as soon as possible. There are *ride on mowers* with nicer gearboxes than this dog.... Regards, Noddy. That is 100% confirmed. And I agree with your comments re the T5 - I have one in my V8 BA XT sedan and it sucks badly! > > Update for you Bill.

I really like the interior. The orange and black looks great. What happened to the spoiler?
