Interesting colour choice for the pic. Make me think XR GT though the shade appears different. If that's a production colours it's going to look classy. Deliberate? A Ford GT without the badge?

It actually looks close to acid rush from the BA series.

Bad colour, but still looks good.

So XR8 gets dark grey mirrors with indicators in them and XR6 gets colour coded mirrors with no indicators in them.

Love the look of the XR8 going to ring my dealer now.
Not sold on the gold just yet but might look better in the flesh |

Yep XR6 turbo or G6ET down the track for me. It looks classy, euro and phat at the same time. Can't believe how good those factory headlights look. This will stop people needing to mod headlights as they look awesome!! Will look good with a cooler hanging out the bottom of the bar and some coilovers ;)

Buy one. Tell the grandkids about how you owned the last Falcon.
Well done Ford.

Ford fleet email with this gold pic up top, can't miss the frontal cues when you see the Mustang at the bottom of the email. Nice way to ease us in....easy to see the same approach in VF to the GM global design cues front and rear...but not in my mind that successful in that instance.

This site gets a mention in this article:
http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/l...725-zwppk.html Blue-blooded fans on the Australian Ford Forums website suggest Ford has “done a great job easing us into the next generation”, and that “the Falcon won’t go out with a bang.....its going out with a nuclear bomb”. |

I guess this is the last time we'll get to compare a new Falcon to a new Commodore. Hopefully maturity prevails and we can show both cars a bit of respect.
 XR6 looks very, very slick.

The angle of the XR6 pic is not doing it for me.
However the XR8 looks brilliant.

I know colour is playing a big role along with lighting, cgi etc, but the VF is holding it's own, especially XR6 v SV6.
Can't wait to see some G6E shots

Maybe it's the view or the colour, but I'm actually surprised by how much I like the XR6. It looks very classy and clean while still having some of the tough presence the XR range is supposed to have.
That XR8 though is an absolute winner. A couple of upgrades to the wheels/brakes may be all it needs to look absolutely stunning. |
