seems like torque has dropped on the base model and i wonder if the 3.0L base models will be slower?

AWAITING NEW ASTRA J VXR TO COME OUT IN OZ!!!
yeh..The mondeo xr5 is heavy with an in line 5 turbo..imagine a falcon with a 4 potter turbo...
out of topic: Having been in a both a new mondeo and a focus and noticing the crap built quality..i really dont know about this new model. I mean how hard is it to get the dash aligned with the a pillars inside..noticed 2 focus`s with alignment problems with trims and panels.
mmmm only 290 lb-ft of torque in about a 1.8(?)t vehicle....
wonder why they haven't gone for a variable valve timing design?

the Ecoboost engines are pretty good - or at least that is how they are reported. They are not the same engine that is in XR5 Mondeo - and from all accounts are going to be a lot more usable than the small V6 wants to put in the Commodore - peak torque at 5000rpm???? Holden is going to shoot themselves in the foot with this - the car will be crap to drive unless they perform a miracle with the gearbox calibration.

hmm - weird - in the August wheels, they were talking about peak torque at 5700rpm (I didnt read the press release)The article says peak torque is at 2900 rpm.
Well thats good then - people won't need to rev the crap out of them to get the car moving...

2900rpm is still quite high..
