They never turn out as aggressive as the drawings.
Looks good though. Can't wait to see the rear.

Hi res CGIs from caradvice. Wish Ford would just show real photos instead of CGIs all the time.

Gee the xr6 looks like a backward step, not liking that. I'll wait for real life pics to reserve judgement. Think it's the flatish bonnet that doesn't suit it

The rims don't suit the car .The new rims for the XRs will do the car justice.Relatively little exterior changes to panels have made the car look quite distinctive.There is still more testing to do on the cars.We should see more cars out and about.Keep your eyes peeled. ;)

Classiest car since the AU, which might hurt some people but that car also looked terrible when anyone tried to put stripes on it. Agreed that its got a bit of Audi to it, funny that as I recall people saying the same thing about the BA looking like the then current Audi A6. Im really looking forward to seeing pics of the XR6T, I know its not going to happen but as the XR8 gets the bulge it would be nice if the XR6T got vents like the mustang 5.0. Always said it needed something small other than the badge to set it apart from the rental XR6's.

Gee that's a negative article from Joshua Dowling ( Surprise surprise )
I think it looks good. My bet is it will look better in the flesh. I do however, think it would have looked better with a recessed grill like JTFS1's pic

Someone better start seeing how many more ZF's they can get their hands on if the rumours of a limited supply is correct!!

The Caradvice article is saying a V8 ute will be available.
I thought it was said there will be no V8 ute.

Looks pretty good but not quite as aggressive as I was hoping for. In the flesh though that may all change. Mustang has really grown on me since its reveal and I said the same things. I had thought when seeing the subtle bulge last night that the bonnet may actually been standard across the range as it would keep costs down but the XR6 above has answered that.
NO BREMBOS on the gold XR8 though, those are just the standard brakes in the picture. Maybe they will just be an option after all. Looking forward to the reveal Ford.
