From what I've seen of the two of them I'd wait until you see the FH xr8 Same as the current car feel wise,but much more sexy looking without the badges in the headrests Gt is going to be just a freshen up dif super charger(I think;-) ) and a new bumper I would wait Spyman |

I wonder what US car guys will think of the FH when they see it?
I'd love for one of the car magazines to take a fully loaded FH XR8 to the states. They've done it before with Commodores.

If you call 2 seconds of dark shadows & front lights getting fleshed, "seeing the FH", then we'll never agree!!

if you're referring to the teaser video from 2012 than yes that was only like a 2 second flash...but the last teaser video from last year showed a fair bit more which had more light to show the main outline of the grill, lights, wheels of the front end...the led's in the headlights looked awesome and tough

Back on topic... Do we know if the EcoLpi and Ecoboost 4cyl motors will carry over to the FX? Are either popular enough to cover the costs of the crash testing...etc that I'm assuming Ford would have to do since the car has got a new front end? |

Do you think they'll still offer manual option on NA XR, base ute etc? I hope they can improve shift quality on the TR6060 (?) If so.
