Going by previous examples I'd say that'll be the most obvious!

Found this car whilst playing GTA v, thought the front looked very similar to the images we've been seeing from people posting in this forum. Pretty cool

No dice Spyman. You are now officially the enemy. I will be out on the road over the next 4 weeks or so avoiding you and your kind. Maybe you can post up a pic of what you look like so if I see you I can quickly put the car cover on But just sit tight fellas, it won't be too long before the embargo ends and Ford will reveal it all. |

here's that long awaited update dash pic don't look at it in to much detail around the vents etc. as you'll see where I've rubber stamped out the test gear. main change is the spears etc. and the door card inserts have changed on some, remember this is the second in a line of mule updates so it could still change. Note the buttons are also changed like the first dash shot and going from what Bossxr8 has indicated this is prob in line with what he was shown(poss) spyman Last edited by spyman03; 05-08-2014 at 06:29 PM. |

Shame there's no interior changes... I'd argue a big chunk of VF buyers bought because of the interior update (it was what kept me out of a VE).

Oh hurry up Ford- I want one already! Make mine a "Sprint" please with the 335 engine, Brembo's and some half leather/half cloth GT-P seats, subtle styling changes over the base XR8 and a choice of 5 colours.

Interior ain't the b all and end all, how exciting do you think Camry and carolla are and Toyota don't have to much trouble moving them. Can I ask what's wrong with the FG interior? I got in my cousins FG the other day seem not to bad to me. And besides does anyone really look at the interior of the car after you've had it for a couple of months except when the kids spill something on it

Just like no one bought ED Falcons? That interior was 6 years old.

Thanks for sharing another pic spyman
Anyone else notice there is a strip of suede (or similar) along the edge of the upper and lower bolster edges? My wish list for the new XR range: - Add some alternate textures to the XR interior, like the suede inserts on door card pockets and lower sections of centre console (as per FG FPVs). - The seat fabrics could also do with an update. The XR leather is just all plain black and pretty bland, again the use of alternate textures and sticking on the FPVs make the interior much nicer to look at and be in. - Do something different with the ICC fascia and centre console trim colours and finishes. I sure hope they don't carry over the current crop of colours. Yes FG interior is nice, but in its current state its getting on a bit
