Fordoldie, I think what has gotten the ire of a few up is the blanket statement that it will surpass BF. How can you say that without actually seeing it in the flesh, sitting in it, driving it and then finally owning it and all the inherent problems it may/may not have. Plenty of manufacturers have put out new cars that do not surpass the previous car, daewoo, kia, even Holden with the VT2 and the 5.7 litre "rattlin rod" engine, as well as the alleged fuel economy on the VE being very marginal over the previous model.
At the end of the day, the VE is untried and untested and once it comes onto the market assumptions such as yours will be able to be proven. At the moment all we have is supposition. Either way, I hope the VE does surpass the BF as all it will do is force ford to react even stronger.
