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

[oddnutz]

Hard to tell but looking at the pics of the xr6, xr8, g6e and the xt ute it looks as if they all share the same front bumper and headlight case just different grills and bonnets and lights???, I think the last time the xr's shared the same front bumper with the other falcons was the EL ??

[Callum31]

Ben_psi, looks good mind you reverse lights are missing, maybe put them either side of number plate like the EB/ED rear? Could look good, worth a shot.

It'd be nice if an after-market shop ends up 'producing' GT's, using doner XR8s...

I reckon you'd go bloody close to being able to fit all of the FZ rear bits onto an FG. I'd even argue that the FZ bootlid could bolt straight onto an FG albeit with mismatching indicator lenses. But the end result could curiously work if it doesn't end up too frankenstein. As an example - have a look at the rear tail lights of a 2008 Mondeo Sedan. Tell me that you don't see just a little bit of BA/BF rear indicator lenses in the shape of the outer lenses, and how the BA/BF might have looked if it had lenses on the bootlid.

The outer edges of the front headlights on the FZ look pretty damn close to FGII as well, to the point where once I thought the front guards would not change from FG to FZ. With the official pics, they do look just marginally different, but man, is it a close call or what. They seem to have that extra side-indicator-lense arperture moulded in, so changing the guard profile around the headlight lense was probably part of the deal in changing the whole guard profile. But I won't be fully satisfied till someone has run a tape measure over the two guard profiles around the front headlight outer edges to see for sure.



And on a final note - we're finishing off with the Territory SZ II. It's only fitting that the Falcon should finish on FZ as well.

My understanding is, and I'm pretty sure this is the case - the front (apart from the indicator by the door) and rear guards remain completely unchanged. It's a cheap update after all.

Ahhh, no thanks. Those fake HO cars were vomit inducing, made the horrible Japanese aftermarket look tame... Thankfully I have never seen one in real life, thankfully (most) falcon owners have class

I think they're up to Phase 8 now. Seems legit

We'll have to wait and see what Factory options are available - like an SVO pack?

[Nikked]

Sprint?


Seeing as the XR8 images we have seen so far have the R-spec package, my guess is there wont be to spec levels...

The plot thickens, with CGI ony - it's keeping me guessing!!

And a ticket from Plod for using phone whilst driving.
Even if it wasn't a "mobile" they could still do him for inattention.

Other way around (FG tail lights/bumper with FH boot) would look just like a new Camry !

Passenger leaned across to take picture...

Does it really matter? Seeing a car in pre-production mode on the road is more dangerous than taking a picture of it.

They've already revealed what its going to look like, they might just 'reveal' another CGI image *sigh*

[Dave R]

Looks like an XT.

[Nikked]

Damn that looks good...just let down by the ride height and silly wheels.

[hootar]

You can see the LED outline going across the top of the tail light and sloping down.

[richo77]

New font on the Falcon badge would have been nice.

[turbo4]

Good to see a FALCON badge on the boot. Nice rear end too, I think that is definitely a better angle than the G6E pic

[LASTXR]

I like what I see so far

[Adamz Ghia]

That is a good looking bum for a base model...

[jmd64]

Is that an LPG sticker on the number plate?
