I do see a rather unattractive Aqua Green GT most days….. don’t know where they got that colour from.

I do and so far I'm up to 3 sightings.

I'm up to 12 sightings but that number could be exaggerated by the fact that four of those were Victory Gold XR6's within about a 5km radius of each other.
Also seen two white XR6 tray back utes close to each other as well so possibly the same ute twice ?
Although I'm only counting those I have actually seen out and about on the road, I am including a Police XR6 ute that the dog squad had while showing their dogs at the Easter Show.

I saw two today....both on the showroom floor in the dealership when I dropped off the authority for them to pick up my custom plates from vehicle licensing services. Lightening Strike G6E Turbo and a Smoke XR6.

Unfortunately no Silhouette XR8 yet, but promised soon. They are very keen too.

I have just driven from Brisvegas to Bundaberg and returned in my ute. So travelled approximately 700 Kim's and only saw 2 FGX's and both were on the fringes of Brisbane. Thought there may have been more on the road by now.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 20-04-2015, 08:38 AM

i see a few every day now in melbourne, a ute lives down the road from me too

Technically its better. G6 didn't get a reverse camera....or sat nav (From April).

FGX335 · 20-04-2015, 12:50 PM

I saw an XR6T in Tweed Heads over Christmas, an XR6 in Brisbane CBD in January, and a base Falcon yesterday. My wife has also seen an XR6, and apart from the dealers, that's all we have seen.

I'd say that since this is still in the initial batches of releases, that most owners would've been the hardcore owners. They're all potentially stashed away in garages for safe keeping.

Although, I saw my first FGX taxi on the weekend :P

TheSneakiness · 20-04-2015, 01:15 PM

Spotted a grey FGX XR8 Saturday morning at Orion Springfield. Had custom plates but can't remember them.

Rolkus · 20-04-2015, 02:49 PM

Saw three on Friday. An XR6 ute in Newcomb, Geelong. And an XR6 and a G6E separate on the highway back to Melb.

They're getting around. I get so excited when I see em.

Family stuff. I noticed lots of Commondores getting around the streets of Bundy and less so the Blue Oval brand. Your new ride is definitely going to stand out from the rest when it arrives next month.

Cheers, Brent

Iggle Piggle · 20-04-2015, 03:12 PM

Just saw a black XR8 parked up on Commercial Street Mt Gambier.

Also saw something that is even more rare in South Australia - a BP servo that wasn't an On The Run.

I'm in Springfield Lakes as well and should have my kinetic XR8 next month. Was hoping to be the only one in town to have the XR8 but you beat me to it. Looking forward to hearing that V8 rumble in that car park.

I like what I see.
Any shots of a full car in Aero

My Aero XR8 gets built in May.
After looking at Fords half hearted colour chart
I pictured Aero as being like Smoke but with
a blue look instead of grey

Thanks for putting that up..
Not what I was expecting, looks like it would suit a g6e, not sure if it would look good on a xr.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 20-04-2015, 10:03 PM

Looks a bit like silk from that pic

**Professor Farnsworth** · 20-04-2015, 10:05 PM

Was following a white xr turbo the other day, he was having a bit of fun with it. Today in Richmond I saw my first FG X taxi, a silver G6E

It's definitely a blue with a grey undertone, not a grey with blue undertone,
This was a g6e, I only had seconds and could only get this one photo, plus the rest of the car had polish all over it.... I don't know how it will suit the xr's, but definitely suited to g6e's and territory's.

It's ok, there's enough room for the two of us! It's no coincidence that the highway to Ipswich only has one lane each way, except for the roundabouts...

Permanently on. It's a good thing though, as you will always be seen during daytime driving, and hopefully that translates to avoiding some accidents.

Nothing better than pulling up behind a car and seeing the DRL's reflected in the paint of the car in front.

I see you each weekday morning heading out towards Yamanto way along the Centenary. Bit hard not to miss you with your plates
