Sounds like FPV have cut the F6 ute, GTE and F6E sedans from their line up effective July 1.

Is there an official announcement on this?
G6E's aren't FPV's though?

Highly doubt they would cut the F6 Ute out. It's practically the same as an XR6T mechanically. Just with different trim bits.

Nope, someone came and picked one up from here not more than a couple months ago.

The pursuit has. I have a feeling this might be a wind up though.

Sorry I'm a goose, F6E not G6E and yes this is offical and not a wind up.

Makes my decision to look at an F6E as my next car much easier!

I think Bossxr8 made a comment about possible changes to the FPV lineup in another thread.

The OP is a Ford Dealer isn't he? I'd say he'd have the inside scoop.
Is a shame though, soon it'll be down to XR6 and G6 left.

Makes commercial sense IMO as GTE's and F6E's have been the slowest selling models for years.

that`s a shame, you have to wonder how many people actually test drive these cars, surely once driven it would be a sale.

That puts me out of buying another FPV then, the other models don't really do it for me and stripes scream mid-life crisis too much.

Strange Trev I thing the E series screams old men to me. I like the stripes , if you've got it flaunt it. Each to their own I do believe but this is the same story that was told when the force series disappeared without trace.

I guess we will have to wait and see what 2014 brings. There may be option packs to keep everyone happy.

What about a GTP without stripes (which can be done from factory) and we remove your decklid spoiler and replace it with a lip spoiler?

That is the only other option really Barra, but I hate GT-P seats. I have always loved the Force cars and when they were replaced by F6E and GTE I always really desired them. They make me turn my head more than any of the striped up cars to be honest as I love the classy look.
