Ford vs Holden

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well, I pick Ford over GM in the US, so it only makes sense for me to pick Ford again for Australia.


Uh, isn't it expensive to get an imported Holden ute?

Who said anything about import?

Well, where else could you get one? or are you talking about that left-hand drive ute business I've heard about?

That's the one.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

That's the one.

Okay. Wait, wouldn't those be a bit pricy too? I mean, I went on their facebook page and one of the Falcon utes they had was going for 50k and it was from the mid 2000s.

I'm actually really excited for the Aussie cars, particularly the FPV Pursuit Ute and the HSV GTS Maloo. I know hardly anything about Ford Australia and Holden but just think they look so much more appealing than the bland imo likes of the new Focus RS. Ford America have great models too. Why the eff are UK Fords so bloody boring??? Lol

Escort. Cortina. Capri. RS Focus, ST Fiesta. FordUK has a lot of good models.

 

[Ryan81]

Dunno I just find them boring to be honest. And I'm from the UK!

How can you find an Escort RS1600 boring? A Lotus Cortina? The Sierra RS500? The RS200? You wanna talk boring, Ford USA with their pig iron land yachts and house-sized pickups. That's boring. The RS1600 Escort is one the best driver's cars ever made, full stop.

I dont know I've seen different versions for different prices, there is 2012 one running for $45,000.

I'm about to pick up the game. Are there any Ford vs Holden challenges, clubs/meets?

You can pretty much do every event as a Ford vs Holden if you blueprint them that way.

Now if they could let you select car designs for the rivals in custom car blueprints, it would be epic.

The game is still leading. So, what's this? Are the designs random or stock paints?

The game usually chooses featured paints for Drivatar cars in races, but some may race with stock paint.

I come from a Ford family, so I would have to side with Ford, but I'm (not so) secretly in love with the Chrysler Valiant Charger and will bolt myself inside and never come out if we actually get one in the game.

 

[mwoodski]

Holden.

 

[CaptainTNT]

I like both equally. I have about 15 to 20 Holdens & Fords in the garage in Forza Horizon 3.

 

[VXR]

For shame, I've only driven two AU cars, both Holdens. I go past the Falcons and HSVs and think I should get around to it, but I'm barely driving the DLC cars, let alone the base models.

 

[05XR8]

Got my XR8 just right. Green, gold HRE classic splits, low cruiser. I'll get some pics up in the appropriate thread.

 

[05XR8]

Am I missing something? Can't find the 2015 Ford Falcon GT-F 351 in the Showroom.

You should definitely be able to find it in the DLC section of the Autoshow, but you need VIP in order to get it.

Aww crap. Thanks though.

 

[Populuxe]

I know I said I'm a Ford guy, but I seem to drive the Holdens more. There's just something about that GTS350 Manaro that I can't get enough of.

Yeah, I drovcthe wheels of that in F6. Handles and looks good. It's like a Malibu Nova & CamARO in one.
