The only thing I'm liking at the moment are the projector headlamps. Mountains of black plastic on the lower grill of XRs... ehhhh.

The new wheels look good!
I like it. Not so much the G6 or G6E (Silver one), but the XR's look good.

Looks great, gives the front end that extra flare, the current front end looks a bit plain in my opinion. I hope they also touch up the rear end a bit.
The changes are similar to Holden's from VE to VE series 2...if they could follow Holden and provide a model similar to the redline that would seal the deal for me, lower suspension, brembo brakes, larger wheels and call it the XR6 Turbo R Spec...

I wonder if driving lights can be fitted to the earlier models, would love to **** off the fog lights on my BA and replace them with driving lights.
Oh and those who said the ute was finished..........Suffer in your jocks.....Bwahahahhahahah.

XT spec looks quite attractive, certainly not a badly optioned car.

Some of you need to stop smoking the wakky weed. They look absolutely terrible. That front end plastic is disgusting.
Thank god I didn't wait for this and picked up my MK1.

XR6 LSD is BACK!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even going to re-read that to make sure that I read it correctly. I'm just too thrilled.
Looks great Ford! Those are some pictures that I can stare at all day. Hope the real thing looks this good! Oh, and great to see the ute live on! What was that about all the people that were saying that the ute was not going to make it? You're wrong, boys!

Is it just me, or does the XR front with the flared bumper bits under the foggies makes the car look a bit AUDI-esque??
Regardless, the XRs look tough as!! Not so sure about the G6s though....

That seems to read for Turbo's & Utes only if you ask me. N/A XR6 sedan has no such option

must have missed that.
doesn't seem overly logical being that the design is there to be used.

So the R6 ute is dead? Be good if they brought out a new Tradesman orientated variant, LSD, taller tyres - nothing over the top.
