I like the look of that. Customisation potential is good.

I like the way Ford uses Blue in there dashs, a far cry from the dull red-orange that Holden use

and the green before that! I used to work with a chick that convinced her folks to buy the xr over the vx because the dash cluster was so much nicer, lol. I think it's something that ford have always done well in. this is an interesting new venture, maybe tarted up a little too much, but for me, it inherently carries a very ****y 'greenie' message. .. not that theres anything wrong with that :P hehe

This just creates the ever entertaining 'Ne leaves on the vine' challenge.
