I like the badge placement personally. If you let the badge position determine the shape of a car, you're doing it wrong.

As soon as we saw it, it really stood out from the rest in traffic.
We followed him for a while trying to get a good snap in but he wasn't shy on the throttle.

That's exactly what I was thinking too, the rear isn't all that bad, the deisgn and placement of those badges especially on that XR6 Turbo model above is horrid.

Agree, they just need to get rid of the "Turbo" badge and use XR6t or XR6T. |

Cheers. I really like both the badges on the one side. Can't make up my mind on whether left or right is better lol.

I don't think that the badge location is brilliant but having seen the other suggestions, they probably choose the best of a bad lot.
Thanks to everyone for providing the images with the different badge locations. |

Do they pop E10 (the garbage overpriced junk fuel) in the test mules? Apparently nsw hwp put that in a gt and destroyed the engine

RHS badges with falcon embossed on chrome strip looks **** hot! I think the factory badge placement like everything else will take time to grow on us. I just wanna see it and drive it already!! &-)

I really like that second image, well done. Looks like there'll be a decent market for that kind of thing, based on responses in this thread and elsewhere.
As we discussed before, with the red '6' on the turbo, I find the word 'turbo' totally redundant and I think I'd remove it if I ended up in one. The red '6' says enough, I think, it's a nice touch. |

Not sure if you guys noticed.. There is a aerial mounted on the spoiler. Would be temporary ofcourse. But any ideas why?

Actually Ford are currently giving their entire dealer network a giant pull-through. This is of course a massive program that will take some time, but at least they're fully aware that they have a problem and are addressing it right now.
