Hey guys, surely Ford can't of only stocked up on 1,500 transmissions spread between the XR6 Turbo and XR8? That is simply no where near enough to what is going to be needed for this final Falcon.

Will there be an unlimited number of manual transmissions?

I know those who have missed out on the GTF will be the first to grab the XR8's and I am quite surprised towards the excitement people have for this final XR8 and how many willing buyers there still is out there.

Hey, looks sweet! However according to the spy pics it's going to feature DRL's almost identical to the G series ones with the strip

Thank’s for that Lucas, I love the new front end treatment with the new lower foglight design.

I thought it was Autos that were being stockpiled as ZF is stopping production of the 6 speeds that the XR6T and V8s get.
The lesser power models get the Chinese ZF box.

Could you please post the photos you speak of - because I'm yet to see any Territory photos with the G-Series lights you speak of.

It's incorrect anyway, you would expect that from Wheels though. Typical photoshop.

Thanks for posting the pics. But sadly, both WHEELS and MOTOR have blown their credibility with incredibly inaccurate CGIs over the last few years

I was hoping the Terry gets some bling across the rear between the tail lights like the Falcon will have. The SX/SY rear at least had the chrome trim above the number plate.

Yep, notice the wording "Images obtained exclusively by Wheels"

Where they say Images...not Photo's

If the reveal is on 25th July, then surely the previously rumored December deliveries cant be right? They would have to start delivering stock much earlier???

What the 25th of July reveal of the XR8??

I think Ford should make everyone wait a little more longer.
Just like they made the GTF owners wait for the reveal of the GTF?
