Mick most of those items you quote are I believe additional to the PP (which is a stand alone option) offered in the USA for which the retail price has increased.

Micro, you did say , if ford sticks with PP........ Actually, we don't get PP. We get 19s and brembo's. PP, also includes strut brace, K brace, bigger radiator, extra gauges, different springs and roll bars, Torsen diff and a few other bits, that i can't remember. Anyway, what ever the price increase for MY18 may be, Ford will discount the crap out of it anyway in due course, like they are doing now.

Ours is the same mechanically, although for we didn't get options for the pre-MY18 model, whilst parts of Europe did have some (interior colours, trim etc)

Note that this could possibly also be referring to the Euro LHD cars only....the Euro RHD versions were different in some areas to the lhd's in the 16/17's. Interior trim, for instance, where Ford decided that tooling up for a small volume wasn't worth it.

This... i just cant see AU getting magnaride ect. The cost will rise too much.
I also cant decide if i love orange fury or want to burn it to the ground!

Seems like you two members have been around before :lol:
Long story short you won't know what it has until it arrives.
Forum rules are that we can't speak ill of the 2018. I'll just say it is like offal, an acquire taste that I don't like

No upgrades have been confirmed, don't trust what you read until someone has physically seen the Australian car on Australian soil.
Learn from the mistakes of past members, we literally had no idea what was coming until pictures surfaced of the car in New Zealand. That was when we found out about no hood vents, the dumbo mirrors etc

and at what price....
I would love to see magnaride and the active exhaust.. I expect we wont see it.
We will get the dash and the vents this time but i think price will stop the other flashy goodies. If anything maybe they will provide two versions one that probably costs 85k and the other at 70k.. I dont see them providing options though..
