Xr8 needs some bright colors like fg Xr8 when it came out or others. Dash, nitro, rapid, octane, venom red, toxic, phantom, or give u the option any previous falcon color u want at extra cost just 2 name a few. Just my 2 cents worth.

I was hoping i would love it in the flesh, but seeing that bronze one in the flesh today I was underwhelmed. I need to see a black one before I call it.
Just an opinion, I still love Ford

What was interesting about the XR8 grill i saw today (at Bathurst) was the 'zig-zag' profile of the grill, almost impossible to photograph, but imagine a dozen or so vertical waves going from one side of the grill to the other. Sounded ace, too!

Did they even do photos for FG? All I remember is the CGI renders which everyone (including myself) said looked like poo but then it grew on us.
It wasn't until the car review sites/magazines got hold of the physical cars were they able to do professional shoots. |

** My apologies Road Warrior - just re-reading your post, I thought you were referring to the FGX not the FG as you wrote.
PR/Media release photos? I haven't seen any? Only what posters have taken with their phones here etc... If Ford have taken official photos for release then they haven't released them effectively - If I'm an enthusiast keeping an eye on all things FGX, and I don't recall seeing anything official, then imagine the general population's perception? This is a justified criticism IMHO and not just a whinge. Last edited by usernametaken; 10-10-2014 at 11:47 AM. |

The haven't done an official release, first day of production was only this week, all cars being seen before now are test mules and may have differed from final production, ford has rigorous criteria they test the cars too. |

Just seen the gold promo xr8 that is going to be used at Bathurst. They've gone and messed it up with pointless stickers that make it look crap

nothing new. It all started with the sticker craziness from the B series (initially trying to replicate the X series then they just went nuts).

I don't normally get into observation discussions about Ford's poor choices, but this is just unbelievable. Marketing work experience student?
