Agreed. Sucks about no lip spoiler as it looks like a base model with someone fitting larger wheels. The lip spoiler really made the G6ET in the FG model from the rear and 3/4 view.
Which are essentially 2008 version with some shadowing effect.

From what i can tell, the FG-X is a marketing tool to convince people to buy what's coming next. As Jason said, when you see the XR from the front, in particular the XR8, it says "buy a mustang soon please" and from the rear it says "Your next car is the Ford Fusion/Mondeo". "see you in a year or so".
It explains why i can't mentally match the styling of the back of the car to the front. |

These pics prove one thing for me. In future press release photos, real cars should be used regardless of cost. The G series looks very average in the press photos but the above pics look magic! The chrome really stands out amd add an extra dimension to the design...

One thing i have notice for a while with the prototypes, is that there are no xr badges on the rear doors anymore

You are right, it's not 100%, some of the shut lines are rounded off, like outer edge of head lamp into frnt 3/4 panel. but overall, I thought it was a better representation of the profile than some of other profile photoshops.

I think the G6E doesn't have a Turbo badge only the red 'E' for a 'neater' look. That was their reason before for not having a Falcon badge on the FG MKII.
And XR6 Turbo would have the 'Turbo' badge for a 'sportier' look. |

Not sure how a turbo badge makes it look more "sportier"
