Sorry I thought someone said these are production run cars
How late can they leave it before they sign off on interior?
I dont think anyone has seen a car with new interior you would think they would need to be tested also

Based on the test mules I saw yesterday, I think that claim may be on the money.

Oh and did anyone notice the current MkII interior:

That looks great!! The rear quarter looks to blend really well into the green house.

The hidden exhaust outlet on the XT and others has been around since the BA days to give the cars a 'cleaner' look.

Territory has it as well.

So they say, it was most likely done to save a few bucks...

you do understand its someone opinion?
if someone thinks its ugly, then to them it is ugly
if you think its not ugly, then to you its not ugly

if someone thinks car A is slow, then to them it is slow
if someone else thinks car A is super fast then to them its fast

imo i dont think it is as nice as my g6e
thats my opinion
there is no wrong or right

how hard is that to understand

and no its not becasue im not buying one
i like the look of the GT but im not buying one of those either

[Professor Farnsworth]

well just ignore my incorrect rear skirting etc lol

I've said for a long time the Jaguar XFR-S was pretty much an FG Falcon and now they have moved even closer

5.0 LTR Supercharged engines included!

[Professor Farnsworth]

gotta say, when i quickly scrolled down this page before and caught a glimpse of the rear shot of that black semi-disguised XR8, i thought it was a VX SS

loving that front end
i think with the rear its the lights extending on to the boot and the strip joining them thru i find yuck

might very well grow on me in time
bit like when it takes 6 or 7 goes listening to a new album before it grows on you

To the tune of $20 odd per car.

Yep, $20 odd per car does add up (if they sold at forecast numbers).
Holden decontented Commodores to remove glovebox lights to save money, $20 saving is substantial.

You missed my point but that's ok, I'll try and explain it another way:

Let's use Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Hawkins as examples. Now, for some men, they "don't do it for them". Fair enough. No way in ANY way, whether they do it for you or not, can they be called 'ugly' though. No way.

Same thing here. The rear end (for some reason) may not do it for you. Fair enough. Can't call it ugly though. It is not a polarising rear end ala the AU1 forte front end.

[Mighty Reds]

The 3/4 shot of the XR8 looks the goods.

[Hawkeye84]

That black rear quarter panel looks the goods.
The lights look very Jag

[GT014]

I think it will depend on the right colour whether the car will look plain jane or aggressive. Lighter colours look to hide the lines, whereas the darker ones make it look aggressive and classy at the same time

Of course you can, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...

Good lord.
Last time from me.
If I think as opinion it is not pretty then how hard is it to understand that????
So on your way of thinking it must be completely aesthetically brilliant yeah?
U say it isn't ugly=opinion but its correct
I say I don't like it and its a tad ug=opinion, but that's wrong ....so u say, because your opinion is it is not ugly.
Then u start comparing it to women.
Kinda stupid comparision..... We both know women are more of a pain in the rear than the new falcon
