A selection of stunning models from the world's hottest new small-car range will star as part of the Ford display at the Australian International Motor Show.

The sensational all-new Fiesta, fresh from Europe and to be officially launched in Australia early next year, will be represented at the show by three-door and five-door variants of the sporty Zetec model and a five-door LX.

"Fiesta is an exciting new direction for Ford's small car models as it incorporates stylish kinetic design and dynamic flair with traditional Ford strengths to deliver a confident, fun to drive package," said Ford Australia President Marin Burela.

"The new Fiesta reinforces Ford's driving quality leadership credentials by targeting best-in-class dynamics, precision and ride quality. It offers a distinctive exterior and a refreshingly different interior design and its arrival in Australia will further enhance our acclaimed passenger vehicle line-up."

Making its official Australian International Motor Show debut is the all-new FG Falcon, the first locally manufactured car to be awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

One of the most acclaimed new cars of the year, FG Falcon offers a fresh new exterior and interior, superior driving dynamics, increased power, more torque and improved fuel efficiency.

Falcon XR6 Turbo, G6E and G6E Turbo models will provide Sydney show-goers with the opportunity to experience the space, comfort and improved ergonomics of Ford's new Falcon.

Also making its debut at the motorshow is Ford's new FG V8 Supercar, 'FG01.'

Based on the all-new FG Falcon XR8 sedan road car, the new racecar features a striking Nitro blue and white livery. It is expected to make its race debut at the start of the 2009 season.

Sports-performance enthusiasts will also be able to whet their appetite with something much more affordable than a V8 Supercar, the sensational new LV Focus XR5 Turbo.

The 2.5-litre 166 kW turbocharged five-cylinder hot-hatch sports a fresh new kinetic design inspired appearance and is loaded with even more specification and premium quality features.

These include Bluetooth� with Voice Control, an Easyfuel capless refuelling system with mis-fuelling inhibitor and a new 'Ford Power' start button.

Other examples from the LT Focus range, including the stunning Coupe-Cabriolet, the frugal TDCi turbo-diesel, Zetec four-door and Ghia five-door hatch, will also be on display.

Complementing the new Fiesta and Focus will be a selection of the finest German engineered Mondeo models. Boasting dramatic design, state of the art safety and innovative features, the powerful and economic Mondeo TDCi will star alongside the Mondeo XR5 Turbo.

Another model making its Sydney debut is the ZD Escape, showcasing an extensive top to tail make-over, revised interior, additional safety features and an attractive new recommended retail price.

The ZD Escape is the perfect introduction to the Ford Sport Utility Vehicle range, delivering on attributes expected of a recreational SUV in a compact yet extremely functional package.

Escape offers car-like ride and handling, genuine off-road capability and excellent versatility in a rugged and stylish appearance that represents excellent value for money.

The Ford SUV line-up is further bolstered by the inclusion of the most popular locally made vehicle of its type, the critically acclaimed Territory.

A special limited edition Territory will be shown for the first time at the show. Based on a Territory TX, the SR2 features more than $5500* of extra value at no cost. Additional features include sports leather trim, cruise control, an Alpine rear DVD system, 17-inch sports alloy wheels and body colour bumpers.

A selection of Ford light commercial vehicles, including FG Falcon XR8 Ute and Ranger XLT Crew Cab 4X4 pick-up, will also be on display at the show.
