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

[99AUXR]

I give my F6 some full stick most days only a couple of pulls once its warm but the torque is so ******* addictive

[sxckevo]

If you're all going to whinge about the XR6 Turbo still only having 270kw, please direct me to a link as to where Ford states this.
Don't you feel like you're just using unessacary energy getting worked up on something that is still uncertain?..

Well, no more 310kw engines are being built, so that's a good indicator. Unless there are slight mapping changes, can't see any power outputs changing...

Must be how Dowling writes his articles.

I was thinking the same...it suits the car more for some reason

That may have been from all the opposite lock you had to wind on at full throttle!

Why dont they make another?

5.4 was a dog

FPV 5 litre got away from Ford Tow Rating/work ute, and the engine has such a brilliant reputation now that I still reckon it would sell.

Is that a new Territory or Everest in the background?

Ford doesn't and they're the ones making the cars so your opinion ain't worth much to them unfortunately.

Or did he mean the car trailing the FG X?

I loved my FGXR8 ute and by no means was the 5.4 in it a dog. Looking forward to getting into a FGX XR8 sedan loving what I see so far.

Apologises for being a "whinging sook" for expressing my opinion of the car. Everyone is speculating what specs they are but I'm caught up on the looks of it. For me the exterior plays a big part of what I enjoy in a car. I don't have to like the car bcause it's the last falcon to be made so I thought I would give my view on it as opposed to everyone saying how good it looks.

It does look like the revised Territory front bumper from what can be seen. No chrome around driving lights so could be a TX.

A 270kw turbo 6 & ZF that is now.. How old? 9, 10 years?
Totally lost a loyal Ford ute buyer here!
Either keep my XR50t or I'm jumping camps.

Don't forget the horrible exhaust tip

Its almost as if the front and rear were designed by different teams who didnt work together. Anyway it is what it is and I'll no doubt be buying one in '16.

I agree the 5.4 was NOT a dog,fitted with exhaust for sound and a flash tune for fun i found my baxr8 a fun unit.Mind you it is well short of my pursuit 5.0 S/C in performance which is to be expected and believe me much appreciated.

The facelifted Territory is following it and there's a Honda CRV parked in the background partially obscured by a tree.

Bring back the AU3 Fairlane-style woodgrain I say...
Seriously, though, a dark wood would look nice with a brighter coloured leather.

Yes. And the XR6T ute I bought same day I test drove the 5.4. And the 3 FG XR6T utes I've had since. And my mates FPV Coyote SC ute. And my LS engined circuit race car.

In that company the old truck based 5.4 is a dog IMHO.

[Walt Kowalski]

For those criticising the new style of the rear here's the new Tesla. Must all employ the same family of designers.

Yes. Somebody said it is the new Territory.

That was at the time when someone said it was a CR-V, but they were looking at the parked car, not the trailing car.

That's because it looked much better so it was more eye-catching.
