FG X, The Last EVER Falcon - Picture & Discussion Thread

[MercurySilver]

yeah me no like the g6e
the mrk 1 front grilles still look better in shape and proprtion imo

the G in the fog area is cool tho

[buggo]

You can really see the budget limitations with the XR and G series having the same bumper, just different inserts.

They do both look good though, will look even better in real life.

[Bossxr8]

Look much better in the flesh. The rear is the best part IMO.

Then why are they releasing them? There's no second chance at a first impression. I know everyone is baying for pics. But wait another week and do it properly. Once someone's stood around the water cooler sprouting how they don't like the new falcon. It's a long way back from there.

[XWGT]

I'm struggling with the G6E.

Thats a huge horizontal gap to fill with chrome bars in the grill

Love the current G6ET....this has me worried a little

XT has the same too

[LeadFoot81]

Are those FPV 5th anniversary rims on the g6?



How does everyone feel about XR and G series sharing the same front bumper and headlights (albeit with different inserts on the lights and bumpers)?

For me, somewhat disappointing...XR and Fairmont haven't shared (the exact same) bumper skin and headlight shape since EB2.

What is great is that this Falcon got off the ground at all. XR8 and G6ET are/will be the best picks IMO.

Nah pretty sure they're carry overs of the current G6E wheel

[NanoDuke]

Yeah G6E wheel

Does the new Terri Titanium get front sensors, I can’t see them in that pic.

Doesn't seem like it does it.

No it doesn’t... so for a series II/update just what does it get, I have to say so far I’m a little disappointed.

[xr8territory]

I cant beleive how underwhelming the Territory is. I was hoping for something just a bit more. obviously no budget to work with.

front bumper would change as it comes with models wouldn't it? Just like xr6 FG falcon 2010 and 2012 differences. Unless there will only be one model FH

I cannot see them either.

Also looking at the top of the windscreen it looks like the dark spot is where there rear view mirror mount is glued to the windscreen from inside. So potentially no rain sensing wipers either.

Or maybe its is not a Titanium Territory?

Anyway I have seen enough to know that I will not be waiting for the release for the Falcon or Territory to replace the FG.

Spyman posted a picture of a white XT which showed part of the front bumper. It looks like the XT will have an identical bumper to the XR adn G6E shown with a big black blank plate int eh fog light area.

I am putting my money on same bumpers on all models with different fog lights and grilles etc.

I’m sure it’s the Titanium as it has the repeaters in the side mirrors.

5th Anniversary wheels were 19 inch. The ones in the CGI look much like the current 18 inch in the G6E NA

[fgpsi]

The only thing I hate about ford is the lack of new wheel designs over the years.

The dark side always had us covered in that area

[MAGPIE]

I think they look great Territory included. G6E is my fav at this point.

[Rodge]

Pity they won't sell an XR8 (which is clearly the looker of the lot) with an F6 310 motor.

[GT014]

Gee this is really a cheap update from ford, so every front bumper from xt to xr8 will be exactly the same, only the led lights and grill inserts are different.

[Sam1112]

Little bit of Photoshop, I couldn't decide on wheels for it, even if it was just a V8 G6E I would love one like this.
(The LTD is back... but only for a LimiTeD time)

Come on bring it back Ford.... You know you want to.

Is this what people said in the 60s, 70s and 80s?

They basically got a new car every year haha

[P6LTD351]

I was more referring to the cars back then having the same bumpers right throughout the lineup and it was never a problem. TBH I didn't notice the new ones had the same bumper until it was pointed out.

Even better they'll sell it with a Miami 335

[Bobman]

G6E feels underwhelming to me. Hope to see better wheels on the G6ET though, but IMHO the original G6ET with 19s was a classic design which even the MkII FG couldn't compete with.

[Uwish]

When are they going to show the rear of the XR8?
Hopefully it looks the goods.
Hoping its under 60k optioned up.

[JPFS1]

Of course there are front sensors.

The work experience photoshop kid got a bit excited with the smudge tool that's all!
