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

[Blueford260]

I spose they don't really need to market the GT-F as most of them would be pretty much spoken for. But I do agree when the FH is released they should market the hell out of it give the falcon a respectable send off

I'm often a defender of Ford's marketing team but the GT-F launch is a joke. They've released absolutely nothing other than the fact that it's coming. Oh, and the price... It would have been an improvement even if they'd just revealed the new badge!

I guess you'd consider every maker a joke then, they all let you know a new model is coming but don't reveal specs straight away. GT-F hasn't been launched at all, it's just been confirmed.

i may well be eyeing off an FZ XR8 if all goes well to add to the XRT. It'll depend a lot on price to be honest, and how much they want to play ball in the end.

for me, personally, those two cars together would be a dream.

Find me any other car "confirmation" where the name, engine specifications (including kW and Nms) of certain models, exact suspension and tyre specs and the price of a car are announced without any photos. And to announce the aforementioned specs, yet not the engine specs in a performance car seems a little odd too.
So when you find an example of another car maker doing that, please let me know so I can tell you that they're a joke too...


I'll be looking for new wheels in 2016 and my head is saying Focus ST but my heart is saying XR6T so we'll have to see just how good it looks and goes and if I can justify the increased cost and less practicality (I don't need a big car).

it already gives the ST a hammering so i don't think you'll have an issue with the 'how it goes' part

I have been told high 40's, but was also told there will be 3 levels to choose from up to mid 50's and there will be very little in the way of upgrades per level. the way the dealer explained it was think of XT, G6, G6E but in XR.

[Professor Farnsworth]

high 40's minus some hardcore bargaining would be a good buy if true

hopefully the higher packs rumoured a bit now include GT power tunes etc

Hey,

It looks like most of the cars have been pulled of the road for some reason

I've focused at the sorce and only have chased the red ute out on the road and that's been a few months now

The other pics published were taken in a Geelong park so I think they are being a bit cautious ATM

I've been all over the xr8,a burgundy one you guys will love it

So the pics in the wheels mag with the GT rear wing are incorrect? if so is the boot the same across the top so it would take the GT wing? Guess what I want on mine when I get it!!

Hey,

Very early cars that I had seen but it had a standard wing on it

I used to work with wheels that's more about getting you to look at their mag

The media is very much in the same darkness as the non forum ppl
