Ford Fairlane

[FlipTrac_511]

Some of you may have already seen the Ford Fairlane concept. Ford just gave it the green light for production. It's a good lookin and practical vehicle IMO and I hope it sells as well as I think it would.

I just hope they don't dillute it too much in the move from concept to production. I like it as well, although I hope they choose a different name.



I wish more companies could act like Chrysler when they decide to produce a concept, actually producting what we loved at the autoshows...

And here I thought you were talking about that really bad Andrew Dice Clay movie

I had a '65 Fairlane and it is what turned me on to Ford. Love that they are bringing the name back!

That movie showed, as well as other articles in that link, that the production version will not be named Fairlane.

DP had a 57 Fairlane, like the one in the movie La Bamba, loved driving that car!

Looks like a Scion xB on steroids. If they want successful cars for the US market, they can bring these three cars to the US:

My first car was a 67 Fairlane. It's a classic Ford name.

Actually, the Focus is the same around the world except America. The Focus pictured is also sold in Oz, including the XR5 pictured, which from all accounts, is a pure pocket rocket that is a blast to drive.

I dunno... a 2 door sports sedan should have the fairlane name on it....
