Was there the same hype being that it was going to be the last XR8 at the time?

Just a quick one, can anyone tell me whether or not the G6E has different interior material like it was in the FG? I don't recall seeing any pictures of the inside of a G6E FGX

Yeah it was the Xr8 at the ford Launch event.
Just love the FG FPV styling overall and it feels a bit more special to me, having aspired to owning one. I was left a little underwhelmed by the FGX interior given there wan no change, and the exterior I was 50/50 on. I've wanted an f6 or GT335 for ages, and the perfect car came up, low kms at a great price so I jumped on it. |

....... they are replica's!
And was not serious. Of course more were made, but were not many, hence, they disappeared without a whimper.

I'm sure I would miss the Nitro Colour. Nitro was a standout (in my opinion).

I like that Gold in the CGis, but I just don't know how well it will age, like nearly every gold/orange/yellow colour ever on a non-funny car. I'm torn between the two blues and Emperor, good thing I've got months to make my mind up! |

Victory gold looks good in the flesh, it's a bit of a bronze colour.
