Are people oblivious, or just don't care?

Did you see the 15 people spotting them from the inside of the cafe?

I was talking to my Ford sales rep after getting a towbar fitted to one of my Rangers. I asked him about the new XR8, he said he's taken quite a few orders. I asked him if it's worthwhile switching from the GT to the new XR8, he said "the XR8 isn't a GT. Keep the GT".

I'll be looking for a run-out TS or Titanium Territory diesel for the wife when the new Terri arrives.

Photos from Support the new 2014 Ford Falcon's FB.

**PepeLePew** · 13-09-2014, 03:53 PM

Rears great, but not the fronts most flattering angle....wish the pics were better quality i love that colour!

galaxy xr8 · 13-09-2014, 04:04 PM

I actually like the front end now, it is growing on me and I’m sure once I see it in real life I will like it, the rear is fantastic.

fgpsi · 13-09-2014, 04:34 PM

Bringing back EA colours

Road Games · 13-09-2014, 04:53 PM

Nup gonna keep the B-series definately !!!

4.0i_SiX · 13-09-2014, 05:07 PM

I'm actually quite surprised how a small change like round vents can make the upgraded Territory's interior look more modern. Pity Ford didn't have enough coin to change the falcons dash to round vents. At least its something

Need more pics from different angles. So far from the FB pics posted above , doesn't look impressive. Will wait for "better" pics.....hopefully.

I wanted to like the front when I saw in in person, but it's too flat and doesn't look right. But others have seen it and like it. Looking at the red one, the silver fg2 front in the background looks heaps better.

The rear though as I said in real life is stunning. Love those xr6 wheels, probably the best ford has ever come up with.

The colour of the new ford makes a world of difference. The blue definitely brings out the best in it

GT014 · 13-09-2014, 07:24 PM

These are a couple I took a few days ago

usernametaken · 13-09-2014, 07:26 PM

That black XR8 is crying out to be dumped.

Auslandau · 13-09-2014, 08:19 PM

Not hanging on anyones photo skills or anything and greatly appreciate all pics taken and supplied ...... but I am sure that photos taken with a good camera and so forth they will look great rather than those taken with potatoes.

Still waiting to see one in the flesh!

Whitey-AMG · 13-09-2014, 08:22 PM

The back end does look nice. Front end will take some time to warm to. As it it is , front end looks kinda weird and out of proportion. Just not sweet looking.

sxckevo · 13-09-2014, 10:38 PM

The back end was the part that disgusted everyone and now that's changed to the front.

Definitely starting to agree though!

And taking my DSLR to Sandown tomorrow hoping for another one to be there!

XR Martin · 13-09-2014, 10:53 PM

I agree the front end has an overly 'flatness' look to it, similar to how an EF is.

apolloxbgt · 13-09-2014, 11:22 PM

I liked the front

And yeah taken with a potato.

Noice potatoe though.

I like the front and rear. Seems to gell quite nicely. Nothing thats offensive and I know I will like it in the flesh.

Saw a Kinetic XR8 there today! Couldn't get any pics

but it looked and sounded great! Just saw it in the car park as it was driving out.

No, it isn't a GT. However with the same suspension and 335 engine as the GT, I wouldn't be surprised if it was quicker than a GT, especially with its new Michelin tyres.

The G6E looks classy. The Ford website showed the G6ET with the current 19 inch wheels, the best factory wheel ever IMHO. Cant wait to see them on FGX.

**Polyal** · 14-09-2014, 08:30 AM

Yeah the G6E looks flash...my only real criticism on exterior is that the badges on the rear look naff and the non XR8 bonnet is very plain...just looks like a lot of flat space.

Lyko · 14-09-2014, 09:23 AM

Great to finally see some decent shots of the front end - both XR and G6E. Keep them coming!

In relation to tyres, the pics of the blue XR sedan still show Dunlop Sport Maxx. I think the Michelins may be reserved for the Falcon (XT)?

It is rumoured to
also have R-Spec suspension so that would make it even faster than a regular GT!

From where I sit, it is a GT in all but name. If it had that badge there would be plenty on here wetting themselves over it.

The gt is more than the badge. It's the additional visual changes as well. This doesn't have those, that's ok it doesn't make it a bad car but it doesn't make it a gt.

The gt has that extra visual presence, when you see it you know straight away. If the gt was just a badge on the car this would've been badged as a gt and not an XR8 in my opinion.

Cobra · 14-09-2014, 11:32 AM

I'm still not sure about the looks, but I'm sure that it will grow on me.
