G'day mate, and welcome to the forums.

There are several people here who have seen the masked up barra, but that's about it. We're trying to keep information re: the barra off the boards so conversations are usally more about what we'd like, rather than what is has.

Re - Barra AKA AV Falcon

4 x AV Falcons came through Coffs Harbour about 6 weeks ago and made a dawn visit to the local Ford dealer.

A friend spotted them.

They sound like you guys have finaly got it right.

Holden's smugness and well deserved praise for a nice styling design & grunty V8, have finaly been acknowleged.

The barra seems to be what the AU was not.

Smooth Styling & aggressive stance.
IRS All Round
DOHC Engines with unashamed grunt & good economy
Big Brakes
The impression that the company is run by petrol heads who favour fun over being run by accountants who are stiff and play it safe & make well engineered cars that are boring (mazda 626)

Please leak some more stuff (officialy of course)

I think they will be lining up for the AV

What about a coupe ?

Yep, unmasked. Is that big E stop button standard or an optional extra :)
