I distinctly rememember saying to myself lastnight "My God you're one handsome looking son of a ......" Just the grille, the chrome, the wheels, the colour (silk), everything works so well together; all under those bright warehouse type lights. I was suddenly taken back to when I first saw it in the showroom and it was like seeing your wife for the first time; mesmerised. For ford to make it better is going to be nigh on impossible. Then again, I'm not married so don't need to worry about being faithful. I genuinely can't wait to see the new FG2, and if it's as good as you guys say it is then I'll be trading a BF fairlane for one.

I also have the feeling Ford are holding back on an ad blitz for Falcon until FG2 is out.

FG2 probably won't hit dealers until November. Another factor that needs to be considered is that the Ranger still has to be released yet, and the Focus also needs a bit of breathing space. Ford are trying to space all these new cars launches out so that they don't steal the limelight from each other, like the BA did to the Focus. They will probably wait until Ranger has been released, which must be getting very close now. |

Well I went past what I assume was a FG2 XR the other day, lower front bar covered. Which means things are getting close.

If the territory is anything to go by in command center. then hopefully it's coming to FG2. I spent about 5 minutes at Ford playing around with one - and i like it. Love the Layout of the FG's but the Terra is even better.

suspension design..... ? Holden do however seem to be first on the market with touch screens and other assorted gizmos. As for the release date on FGII, I'm guessing Oct/Nov is the changeover I/II.

Next year is time to upgrade my FG, if Ford has done a good job on the FGII then I will definitely consider upgrading otherwise a different maker might do the trick … My wish list is:
a. Ecoboost with Focus ST equivalent power and 100kg of less weight at the front that the I6 b. I6 with a noticeable power hike (turbo excluded) Both would need to see some interior improvements and hopefully a better looking exterior nip & tuck. |

Just thought it might help those that land on this thread from a search (rather than the FGII mega thread)
And sarcasm noted - and just fine ;-) |
