Just noticed the bottom of the FG-X is smiley like the BA.
I think thats what detracts from the toughness. Its good to see all the cars together for comparison. Whats also apparent is previous cars had a small upper grille and a large lower grille.

Which one is not a GT or FPV? The XR8 of course.

Any of the above will do me just dandy - sadly I'll have to buy one of the 2nd hand ones that have been looked after. My XH ute still has lots of life left in her yet.
Cheers!

Have seen a few new falcons on the flesh now, they seem to look awkward.
In answering the question, just a normal FG 335 GT (man) would be my choice.

It's the shape of the head lights of the FGX that give it its tough look imo..........and maybe the view of that large upper grill in the rear view mirror ready to swallow you up adds to it, I think it's simple but effective, but of course these things are very much subjective. Cheers Mick |

I would say BF for looks, but having seen my first FGX XR8 in white in the flesh is completely different to seeing pictures.
Having seen many pictures of the FGX I was a bit on the fence with the looks, but what I saw in the flesh was totally different to how I thought it would look. It looked really good. |

That 5TEALTH Typhoon is a serious bit of kit, with 1000hp. Too bad he's asking drug money for it.

The BA was a happy car. The FG-X is also happy
The BF FG and all FPV were grumpy

All B series over F series for looks by a million miles. But the Miami motor destroys the 5.4L anchor.
BF GTP with a Miami would be the best modern combo for the V8 brigade IMO.

I reckon in their own right, they all look great! FGX looks classy & mean at the same time, though the rear wing could've been a little more aggressive imo. My fav is the 5tealth, though any of them would be welcome in my garage for sure!
cheers, Maka

It's easy being the new kid on the block. Gives you a 'shine' in peoples eyes. It'll be interesting to reflect in some years time to see what order everyone applies when FG-X isn't new anymore....NO implication it's not a good thing, though I do like the non-XR's better myself. Course that might be old age talkin
