I love the way you have added in the sunroof to mate, something that is missing on a factory G6E.

cheers, took it off my car heh
it's a shame it wasn't offered as much, although they offered it to me at the dealer on the XR when the after-sales chick tried to upsell to me which never works. I told her i had contacts where i can get them cheaper than her but she still went on about it anyway. when you do see a G6E with a sunroof, and i've seen a few, it's a very pretty thing. Looks good on any FG actually and should be good on an FZ it seems.

Saw this beast today... was in a convoy with a G series I believe, was hard to tell the difference in DRLs/headlights when going that fast but at first glance they looked good (in person, not in SuperBlurryDashcamVision).

Is there anything behind the trend for cars to carry over their rear lights (tail lights, brake lights, etc) on to the boot? I see that this trend appears to be getting a resurrection after quite a few years absence.
Has there been a change to ADRs or the like that has influenced this? Craig H

Your G6ET would have an aftermarket sunroof. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Ford haven't offered a factory sunroof option since the release of the FG in 2008.

Zero difference if you go to the right place. No recent Falcon has a rolled edge sunroof as they're all fitted aftermarket. Prestige sunroofs taught FPV how to fit sunroofs. They still offer the option for FG in after sales up-selling it's just not in the brochures. Either way the roof is still cut open after the fact just like if you ordered one with a sunroof in 2002, or earlier.

So they have officially released pics of the headlight and tail light- how long after this point did they release full pics and specs when the FG was launched? Does anyone remember?

I don't remember them releasing headlight and tail light pics for FG. Probably wrong though.

On the FB page that shows the rear tail light, in the comments ford has said the official release date for the 2014 Falcon is the 1st of December.

I'd say cars leaving the plant to dealers so people can pick up the car.

I remember seeing a fully undisguised Territory back in June 2003, a year before it was released.
This model will seemingly lose the typical 'Falcon' signature from the front and rear. Still yet to see a test car on the road myself :(
