FG X, The Last EVER Falcon - Picture & Discussion Thread - Page 264

A question for those in the know, no guess artists pl...........I'm thinking of locking in Kinetic with the Tan trim option in an XR8. In regard to the trim will it be called saddle as per old school? Is it a leather lux Pac option available on the XR8? I don't expect it to be a NCO, although that would be nice, any heads up info about the tan trim would be appreciated.

Cheers Mick

I think you'll find Tan is G6E and Territory Titanium only.

Check with your dealer as they will have code sheets now.

I wonder if this new tan leather interior will be the ducks guts (100% full grain hides) or more of the same (pleather outers and coated leather on the facing parts).

$80k BMW and Mercs dont get full leather, so its unlikely a $50k Ford will.

My guess would be it will be faux leather in lieu of the real deal for something like a Falcon.........the tan/saddle trim colour would be cool though

Still wont stop people comparing a 50k Falcon to a $160k Merc though.

OMFG - really - you took time out of your day to post you don't like the badge lol

Next it will be the wheel nut is rubbish and the tail light led/globe are not the right red

Get a grip ppl - Ford should just not make another Falcon and just can it now

**** everyones jobs and close shop tomorrow - although I am sure the same ppl sooking about this FGX are the same ppl who sooked that there will be no more Falcon.

They have built another one for us - show some gratitude and harden up.

Callum31 · 19-08-2014, 08:46 PM

Finally a pic!

I'm guessing all the latest Sync software will be on the current screen of the new Falcon?

I am so disappointed - I thought it would come with Chicken chips!

Looks good though - as it always has

richo77 · 19-08-2014, 08:50 PM

Is that a leather suede combo I see? Wonder if this is the premium pack or standard..

And no keyless start...

madmelon · 19-08-2014, 08:59 PM

Those seats look a damn sight nicer than the cheap cr@p they call 'leather' on the current FG XR series.

nstg8a · 19-08-2014, 08:59 PM

Wheel does look chunkier indeed.

I like those seats!

just the effect of wide angle lenses usually, and the fact that it has all its leather on it, it wears down noticeably pretty quickly

Taily · 19-08-2014, 09:01 PM

My previous post should read: Motor Mag, not Motot mag - apologies!

The fourby wheel is a reflection in the glass... Didn't realise the depths of testing these cars go through - I mean testing how easy it is to clean those chips out of all those nooks and crannies is a pretty comprehensive "family oriented" testing procedure!

I'm impressed!
