Just need the G8E and XR8 with the N/A 5.0

not the best photoshop job

mmmm a Sprint option for the XR8 would be sweet lol
- XR8 Sprint badges and a supercharged 5.0 with quad exhaust

This is one good looking car. Any chance of finding a ute version and weaving your magic...

some of the people who make the most noise haven't owned a new falcon in years.

Not all of us can afford a new car every few years. Besides, at the rate that Falcons depreciate, it doesn't make sense financially to spend $40K plus on a new car only to sell it three years later for $15K.

Improving XT was a great move, we all know that the cost difference between it and XR6/G6 is small
so improving the looks of the XT will certainly add sales and improve the standing of XR6 by reducing
its image as a fleet special. Let's hope these simple but logical changes help Ford get more sales.

Interesting, Ford can now turn the tap on XT, G6 or XR6 for specials on a rotational basis
having three good versions to chose from lessens the sense that every special is XR6 based...

I deleted the pdf (whoops) or it would have been a two second job, i might play around with it again later and do a ute.

here is a modded XT. I bet there will be lots of mixing and matching of the new front end in a few years.

i appreciate that, but if people haven't sampled the latest products, how can they honestly critisize them? its like owning an xe or xf and telling everyone that fords are no good because the door handles keep breaking!

everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you haven't driven the latest product, the opinion lacks a bit of credibility.

Looks good, but use the "sport projector headlamps" from the g6et... And lower it!!

Eaturbo · 17-09-2011, 04:24 PM

Dont like the way Ford does the LED lights and leaves out fog lights. The Territory TS and G6 look better than the Titanium and G6E. Everybody else does LED's and fog lights

at least it stops all the tossers who drive around with them on.

FPV8U · 17-09-2011, 04:35 PM

Can't belive how good the chop of that base model with the XR 19" wheel pack looks, great job!

Hey... I'm one of those tossers!!!

I love the spotties on, especially in over cast days..

BAFrod · 17-09-2011, 05:08 PM

But I'm glad the XR's are keeping foggies. I say LED's are for g-series, foggies for XR's.

fordfreak1 · 17-09-2011, 05:20 PM

wait till you see them on the road guys, everyone will warm to them like the FG.

i just want FPV to give us some pics now. hurry up!!!!!!!

i dont get any info from upcoming cars anymore. as my mate who used to work for a company, they were the first to know about new models coming up. dammit. but he did tell me a long time ago the mkII would be ready 2012, and he was right all along.

mick457 · 17-09-2011, 05:27 PM

is it just me or is frostys car got fg 2 update
i no they said its a new car so must be

B-1B · 17-09-2011, 05:40 PM

I like the look of the Mk11.
Wish the DRLs were in the headlights like Audis.

That is a hot looking car, for the first time in a long time, I "WANT" to buy that car, FG Series 1 never did that for me.

Gobes32 · 17-09-2011, 05:50 PM

Sorry, I should add that I always loved G6E Turbo, but this the first affordable model I have fallen in love with.

Franco Cozzo · 17-09-2011, 06:28 PM

I noticed the new Territory has HIDs, I'd guess the MKII FG would as well.

I'm pretty sure both those notions are wrong. Territory has projectors doesn't it? As do some of the new FG2's.

edit: some articles refer to the territory having xenons and some don't, not sure why?

galaxy xr8 · 17-09-2011, 06:40 PM

Yes the new Territory has Projector's, not HID's, as do some version's of the MKII FG now.

AcidTrip · 17-09-2011, 07:23 PM

I've not yet seen a Territory with HIDs. Definitely makes a big difference though!
