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.

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??

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

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

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