Also ..... and probably the main factors ....... we are all discussing what it will look like and specs associated with it.

Bit of a given really .....
I'd go along with that.

Mustang will have its day in the sun once it's closer to release here.

For now, we can enjoy this lead up to the last Falcon.

did a few ROUGH colour overlays on one of the great looking chops Nikked did. These won't win any awards but show what some old colours may look like on the new model. And to the purists, they're not all 100% accurate, guide only. If anyone is interested in another colour let me know. Full credit to Nikked for the original concept, starting off with that one:

White:



Toxic:



Bionic:



Blood Orange:



Calypso Green:



Nitro:



Octane:



Rapid:

This was posted by a member in the Territory section.

Fords latest ads regards their 2.9% finance deal state that both FG XR6 and SZ TX Territory now come with SYNC.

If this is not a misprint it looks like Ford is rolling out the ICC update to final FG and SZ builds?

This is the ad:

Hi Santa,
Bypass this guys house and deliver the XR8 to me. I will leave out a carton of Corona, some nice cheese and nibblies and some hot little 'elves' to give you a nice massage to help you finish your rounds.

WHAT? NO CARROT??

Quit stiffing the reindeer and he may listen. You gotta pay transport!

Rudolf got a new front end, and expect a rear on it better than (maybe equal to) Eugenie Bouchard. Actually, expect an improved rear and overall better body - but Eugine is Eugine.

Might be the Canadian Club talking.

Gawd I hope that the predictive artwork for the shape of the upcoming FH/FZ is absolutely dead wrong.

The impressions published in this thread are all butt ugly.

I plan on buying an XR6 turbo, so I hope it won't look like the rubbish above!!

According to those that have seen the real thing the renditions are nearly spot on.

So I'm not sure if you think it's the artists or Ford that are bad.

Clarification please .

No, I'm not bagging the artists by any means, as they have done a good job considering the lack of info in jobs like this - pre-empting secret designs.

If these renditions are close to the mark, I just hope the detailing in the real thing actually makes it look OK.
