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.

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. GT450 |

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

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!

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. |

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.

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??? -)

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. 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. |
