Is that F6 a new orange colour, or is it just the red under the lights. Also has it just got GT wheels painted dark argent colour, I thought new wheels meant new design, not new (old) paint.
GS looks cool but I'm not sure of the projectors on the tear drop lights.

I'm loving that new clip on the GS, more than the GT..........
Anyone who still thinks we need a GTHO , this that or whatever should go drive these cars, they are simply awesome bits of gear. |

Hmmm this will test the market to see how much the driveline is liked.

So that is all of the changes for FG II?? Any mechanical or interior changes? Did the GS get some better brakes?

no indicators in the wing mirrors on GS? is that just because utes miss out on a bit of kit compared to sedans?
i'm going against the grain here. F6 and GT look better than GS. GS looks to cheap to be coming out of the FPV stable. should ditch the XR headlights and run the same front end. make it 'fit' in the FPV lineup. note - this isn't a crack at the 'value' of the product so lets not go down that road. i just think that it still screams 'falcon' a bit too much. if you buy a HSV, whether its a base or premo, there is a very noticeable difference when parked next to a commodore. |

GT needs 'coon eyes deleted from the line up, and from history of the FG imo
+1 really likes the GS front end

question that i'm more interested in, have FPV widened the rear track and beefed up the suspension to handle the power better?

I'M RESERVED . i think the GT LOOKS THE BEST , even if it he same as MK1 . THE f6 wheels i dont like and besides racoon eyes nothing identifies it . so i dont like the F6 it's too good a car to look like that . the GS -( IM RESERVED ) -just cant say . the GT looks good and differentiates itself from a base falcon .

the black stripes on the bonnet of GT looks like they almost meet up with black part of the lower mirror which i like, but it stops at the guard, it looks a bit cut off from that angle, GS looks quite good if a little understated, but the stealth look of the F6 is growing on me, it reminds me of a silent assassin(probably apt).
i`m glad they did`nt change the looks too much, imo these are the best looking falcons yet, b series was good too, ......no one mentioned head lights yet, projector type centre lights only or am i seeing wrong? |

Nothing changed mechanically, but someone on here has suggested there will be a more updated FPV range mid next year. I'd assume with the wider tyres and upgraded suspension, hopefully. |

evolution not revolution...
Don't mind the GS, and I think that the GS fills an important niche at the budget end of things. They still need to offer a Pursuit or GT ute. Even if it still runs the 315 motor. Need the the GT front bar and interior bit & pieces. Why they offer a "full spec" F6 ute but no V8 version is beyond me

I would've like to see the stripe changed to the same as the 'black series' to rid of the 'hockey stick'. The GS will look pretty sensational in other colours to that blue (not my favourite colour blue).
