Pom blokes like Ian Callum still do the design, and some are still built in Brummie land.

Hmm, nice. Also that's a week before the Mountain...

[csv8]

As FGX335 said "Oct 4 is XR8 reveal date" great!!

[fgpsi]

A bit of a wait. We've already seen it

Are they really the same mirrors? Would be interesting to wire them up to an FG

Well, as someone who currently drives a pre-iPhone integrated vehicle ('07 BFMKII) and therefore isn't coming a place of familiarity, that looks more than totally fine to me. The tech behind SYNC2 continues to sound pretty impressive, too.

[Polyal]

Yeah and nice work with Kazza, love it.

Im not a fan of the screen side profile and how it all pokes out but that was never really going to change.

[Joe5619]

Interior looks nice. It is just me or have the spears gone or are they just lower than the FG?? A shame they couldn't change the layout of the buttons on the centre as that would have pretty much been an all brand new interior??

[jmd64]

DAB radio - is that a first for an Aussie built car?

Yuck!! The Black is nice and the Tan leather is nice. But not together, why didn't they blend it in a bit?

Is the person who does the interior colour blind?

The photo is of a Territory, which is unchanged apart from the Sync 2 and seat trim.

Huh, that's the thing that caught my eye the most. Thought it looked wonderful

[Road_Warrior]

Pity they couldn't have adapted the Territory's circular vents into the FGX.

[G6T]

so fg gets grab handles on doors finally.

Innovations make every journey a safer one

The first Australian built vehicle to be awarded ANCAP’s 5 star safety rating

Falcon proved itself through numerous internationally recognised crash tests and was awarded the highest safety rating possible. It’s not the easiest rating to get, but when it comes to your safety and that of your family, it’s the most important. And that’s why we’re pleased to announce the addition of side curtain airbags as standard across our entire Falcon sedan range

Get set for a truly exhilarating drive.

With a range of powerful and fuel-efficient engines, and smooth precise
transmissions, the Falcon allows you to customise the driving experience you desire.

Falcon’s high-tech, renowned engines spoil you for choice and power. There’s the 4.0 litre I6 engine which delivers 195kW of power and 391Nm of torque. If thrilling performance is your thing there’s the awesome 4.0 litre I6 Turbo, with turbocharger and air induction system, giving you 270kW of power and a whopping 533Nm of torque. If that's not enough our LPG fuelled EcoLPi engine delivers outstanding fuelling costs with no compromise in performance, delivering 198kW of power and 409Nm of torque.

Falcon has a long list of technological features that provide you with greater control and more comfort

Readily access the essential features of your new Falcon using the intuitive 8" colour touch screen*. With user-friendly Bluetooth®^ mobile phone integration across the range and Satellite Navigation with Traffic Message Channel# technologies on G6E and G6E Turbo models, driving will feel like a whole new experience. In addition, with USB integration now standard across the range, simply insert your USB stick into the port to control and play all your MP3 music files or use the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for seamless control of your iPod,+ smart phone, MP3 and USB device. Connecting with friends and family or playing your favourite music has never been easier.

With so much room and luxury for every occupant, the Ford Falcon interior means everyone travels first class

You can comfortably seat five adults in the Falcon, so while the driver can luxuriate in a dynamic cockpit that boasts improved ergonomics for even greater driving pleasure, passengers can sit back and experience new levels of luxury. Also, if the kids aren’t on board, the Falcon’s smart and flexible cabin layout can adapt to your needs, like being able to fold part or all of the rear seats down to create a generous cargo space.

All of the innovative comforts and interior finishes in the Falcon have been created with the driver in mind. The interior is an environment where technology and comfort combine to deliver to an exhilarating yet sublime driving experience. And it’s an experience that is a stress-free as possible, thanks to all of your creature comforts and controls being within easy reach.

And lots more info on there

Just came to post this. XR6 still doesn't get DZ climate control as standard, which is horse **** of the highest order in 2014 (smelly Evokes get it). Not that it will affect anyone in this thread

But seeing all this 'official' PR come out is exciting, regardless

[Callum31]

Can someone please upload the photos of the interior?

Can't access drive right now.

Cheers.

From the Territory reveal.

It doesn't mention anywhere that the XR8 is supercharged, it would be a real shock if it wasn't!!!

No they're being very cagey around it - all the other engines are mentioned (270kw i6 for the XRF6T and G6ET, no F6 here, lol) - maybe those mules getting around in Melb just had a large OTR CAI installed, with a whistle in the pipes to fool everyone...

[Hawkeye84]

Nice find sorted

So it pretty much confirms that the G6 has been dropped...or was this confirmed earlier?

[icecold84]

Maybe it's not SC the xr8 may have the 5.0 from mustang with 320kw, will know 100% in a few weeks... I have a little doubt that it's not

[jimt3te50]

What engine would be in that (interior shot) to have a 4500rpm redline?

That was my first thought also. Surely not? You'd think that they would be proudly boasting of the factory supercharged engine....
