Anyone get a phone call from their ford dealer regarding a delivery date for their XR8? I didn't. Also Silohette or Kinetic? Love Kinetic but think the car looks a bit rough side on where as black looks great from all angles but has the standard black issues.

I ordered an XR8 in October from Kloster Ford in Hamilton Newcastle. Still have heard nothing about expected build/delivery......5 months and waiting, only told that they are waiting on allocations from Ford Australia.... This on the "support the new 2014 Ford Falcon" today about 1 hour ago: John Darragh "Great looking car , dealers will be getting the last allocations from Ford to fill orders however won't be enough cars to fill all orders there will some very disappointed people have spoken to Ford Australia today" Not sure what all this means......

Even if they build the 1200 this a big country for 1200 XR8's I reckon u be lucky to see one once a year.. I've only caught a glimpse of a XR6T sedan that's the only FGX I've come across in the wild since December!
Pretty sad really. |

Must say the FG FPV is a shape that won't age for me, specially the R-Spec and GT-F.
Having a bit of a range of colours to choose from on the FG helped too. |

I have been waiting, coming on 5 months... Happy with my dealer as well- he has passed on what he knows and has been straight with me, and has kept me in the loop when he hears more. But, I never in my wildest dreams thought I would lay a deposit, wait for nearly 5 months, and still have no concrete confirmation from the manufacturer at that time whether they would come good on the order.... I could understand this if I was buying a special McLaren or Lambo, but a mainstream local manufacturer- weird times indeed....

Had the local Ford dealer bring the XR8 and XR6 to our All Aussie Car Day we run over here in NZ and have to say I LOVED the new shape!! Looks very fresh and modern but at the same time aggressive!! Check the pictures out here at our FB page, Some real nice Aussie cars too https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1743492&type=3

Saw some up close FGX's at the dealership when I dropped my car off for service.
It was only the XR6...but they had a victory gold, a white and a VG ute. Having an FG I really don't see why people are so opposed to it and think its ugly. Everything about it looks fine to me  That is all

I like it, just not as much as previous falcons. I do like the g6e though, very nice looking.

From Carsales:
These are the first photos I've seen of an FGX in Archon Bronze. I think it would suit the G6E Turbo really well.

First bronze one I've seen too, would look great in the sun.
