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

[yanknbank]

Hoping the headliner in the G6ET was the the light off white colour and not the claustrophobic black one.

......now that I've actually had a look at the other photos, it would appear to be black. No thanks.

$175 to get it changed by a mobile trimmer in any colour you want.

Its this kind of small mindedness that craps me to tears....really how hard would it be to let a buyer spec the interior they want.

Even if its a XT interior, if the person is willing to spend money on it let them.

XR is the only one that gets the black IIRC.

[GT450]

I would have thought with Ford having the competition to name the cars in their ad that turned out to be the Mondeo, Mustang and Everest that this would be the greatest sign we would be getting all these models.
I do't believe the Explorer is coming our way.

Which one has the V6 ?

[Mighty Reds]

White is a really nice color on the FG and now FG X.

3. The old plastic cheap interior, I mean get real- for $10,000 more I can get a Mercedes or a BMW sedan with fantastic up to date interior, and that very light turbo 2 litre....with 135 kw odd no less....

4. Fuel consumption- this is disgusting and non negotiable - not green at all with the 5 litre, put in the 2 litre turbo, or at least if using the 5 litre use twin turbos with associated lag and flat spots and non linear power, but get the fuel consumption to bout 9 litres per 1000 at least...

I mean really Ford, come on, get with the times and move on from this prehistoric Metasoarus

^^^^ Bet this guy drives a ricer lol.

He is taking the pxss, it's pretty obvious he's taking shots at the negative commentators on here

[Bluehoon]

No more xr6 photos please.

Post up the good stuff - XR8's..!!!!

[DFB FGXR6]

I had a sit in a XR6 today.
The new cloth seats are quite good, nice and firm. I also notice the door trims now have a leather(vinyl) armrest section.

The black headliner (std on XR and G6E Turbo).......not too sure. It actually looks as if someone has just painted all the bits in their backyard. It also seems to visually reduce the view out of the rear window. This is the only thing I don't like about the FG-X. I'm sure I will get used to it and at the end of the day I didn't buy one for its headliner, I bought it for that certain something with a supercharger under the bonnet

This is what I just picked up from McGrath Ford in Belconnen about an hour ago.

Soooooooooooo jealous!!!

Well done by the way

[graphicgoose]

Enjoy that Miami Garry!

[LASTXR]

Well done.

Get ready for all the questions,
when you stop driving it

[SensationFG8]

So does it have launch control? I think you're the first person to pick one up on here so you will need to give us all the details!

[Adamz Ghia]

I have always wanted black head lining as standard, I had my AU 2 Fairmont Ghia changed to black, was the best thing I ever did to it...!

[galaxy xr8]

Well done Garry, they are an awesome machine, I called into my local dealer today for a quick loo see at the new Territory and they had a White FGX G6E there, and all those that said wait till you see it in the flesh until commenting about the front end and style, were ABSOLUTELY right, it look’s a million times better in the flesh and is a real classy looking car now, (not that it wasn’t before hand but even more so now).

I am so proud of everyone that has been involved with the final Falcon, as a looker it is fantastic, just absolutely BLOODY fantastic.

[Snowdoggydogg]

Well done sir. Well done.

looks sweet, but it needs a slimline rego plate (front) and get rid of that black plastic plate surround...

G'day mate.

Yes, the XR8 has launch control.
And I quote from the XR8 hand book, page125.
"The system is automatically enabled when the vehicle is started."

You can switch it of by turning DSC off. this shuts off both systems.

Cheers Garry.

Jackpot!!!!!!

So that sums it up. These new XR8's copped the entire RSPEC running gear.
This level of performance and value will never be seen again.

Absolute performance car of the century!!!!

Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out driving??? -)

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Well Done Garry!!!!

Nice colour choice too! very jealous

I wish.

However, the leader of the opposition is at the hair dressers tonight and I'm stuck with the deputy leader (she is only 6). Dinner, shower, early bed time etc.

I'm all over it tomorrow though!

Congrats, your car looks stunning.

Please keep us in the loop about how you find it, the handling and power, and also- have you been told about any need for running in requirements.

Don't...know...how ... I can wait.... for 4 MONTHS for mine....

[Cymrucaveman]

Congrats. Car looks awesome. +1 on the jealousy front.
Can't believe people are picking em up and I haven't seen one in the flesh yet.
Must harass my dealer harder.
