I see the carsguide article mentions them for the XR range. Fantastic news, holy ****.

I think members that work at ford have suggested the paddle shift rumour is bs....

It's Emperor, a current FG II colour, very similar to seduce.

Pleased with the inclusion of paddle shift tho.
Would've been great on a F6 :(
If I get a V8 xr8 it will be manual.

edit. blackout/colour the chrome plastic strip between tail lights & pic improves

still too mondeo tho

No paddle shift, carsguide are idiots who have no clue.

No G8E. Only V8 will be XR8.

Looking at the 3/4 view of the black XR8, I wonder how it would have looked at the rear without the boot lid lights. Someone whip something up

Huh? What upper tail lights do you speak of?

G6E and XR8 seen here shows identical tail lights apart from what could be a tinter on the G6E ones.

[Giant Cranium]

Hope the base ute gets colour coded side skirts and rear bumper. May be my next company car and I can't stand the current one. Anyone know?

[futura]

Has the peddle shifts been confirmed by Ford?

The upper part of the taillights.

The base ute a few pages back has steel wheels and un-painted mirror caps, so id guess the rest of the base FG spec would carry over.

Are you sure? Looks too thin. I feel it might just be like the VF in sense of when lights are on both inner and outer light up but only outer for stop light, but with incandescent globes. No LED.

Guess we will find out soon enough.

OMG

I never knew a VT looked like a Jag. Learn something new everyday.

[Auslandau]

Love it. Especially in the flesh always an improvement over static front and rear shots. Even the ute is going to look tough. Would swap the GT335 for one tomorrow ...... if they had a GT. Few months wait now to see them properly.

Dont care if they are compared to Mondeo, Jag, Mustang ..... great company to be compared to but is plenty different enough to stand out and make a statement. Great job by Ford and think they have hit the mark just fine.

I reckon he is taking the ****...

Ah bugger, on both counts. I didn't think it was Seduce (after trawling other images), but was hoping anyway. Same goes for flappy paddles I guess. Nevermind then, a fun gimmick for another day!

Aye, I was quick to bash in my details so my local over-promising under-delivering dealer can contact me in the new year

I'm not a fan of the non-XR8 front ends, they look pretty plain jane in these photos, especially the ute.. Looks to have too much "nose" and plastic out there... even the lights look the wrong proportion... I so hope it is just these pics making it look wrong..

And as predicted, the centre stack doesn't look too different from what you can see through the rear window of the sedan.

Well I think the front of the ute looks like a hiundi,dont like it,also not a fan of the rear on the car.I think the XR8 car will be able to pull of the front pretty well.

That's way off. But I always thought a VT with a VX executive (blank plate) garnish looks somewhat like a BA Falcon...

[CyberWasp]

Here is one for someone who is photoshop enabled.
What would the new model look like if apply an F6 Grill /Colour

i think he means the neon/leds in the top part of the tail lights, like this...

Correct

Interesting. Cheers for that. My apologies to P6LTD351.

[AndyXR6T]

That base model ute looked absolutely terrible (IMO). So plan and square! The new design of the front and rear might work on a whole new frame but slapping them onto a FG just doesn't match... I'm sorry Ford but ill be hanging into my FG
