New FPV Range in detail..

[Rollin]

I'd rather drive a stock EB Futura that was in good nick than an FG of any description, especially if I was pocketing the 50 large difference in price.

[Sunboost]

GT bonnet decals look SHIT!!

Agreed. I hated it from the moment I saw the first MMS pics. Looks tacky and class-less.

Joe, the ute is the best looking out of the lot. The VE ute looks old compared to the FG ute range.

[Steady]

I don't like the FG utes.
Seen them on the road, not a fan.
VE ute is fcken gay too though, you've got bad taste Joe.

[AaronEF8]

I think it needs a bigger intercooler, will that one be adequate?

[Commando]

That's the trans cooler

[Sunboost]

Shoulda left the grille in John. Looks good.

[EFFalcon]

i'm wondering who will be first to put the racoon eyes on another model.
will it be an eseries owner, an AU or a BA.

[Dansedgli]

I reckon Pink racoon eyes would look good on an E series.

I prefer the looks of the VE range over the FG range too.

I lane split past a black VE Senator or something today. It was mint.

[EF ECTIV]

that chop looks fuckin killer.... Instant tuff....

[Commando]

There's just something NQR about the rear door & rear guards with the FGs...

I'm betting a VT/VX owner will beat us to the punch with Racoon Eyes

[AaronEF8]

They changed from wrapping the rear door openings around the rear wheels, apparently it looks more modern. Probably because BMW do it now. Apparently wrapping the opening around the wheelarch is limo style, and was a trademark EA feature according to some magazine I read.

I saw an FG XR6 today in the local dealer, one thing that got me is the lower part of the front bar seems to stick out more than the 'bumper' if you know what I mean, kinda like a new Integra Type-R. I await to see much damage occuring to them.

By far the worst aspect though is the higher centre console, it looks like it'll be much harder to cop a feel of the passenger than in previous models.

[Commando]

Still looks fkn gaycore though

[AaronEF8]

Oh shit yes, I'm not denying that . By the looks of the release pics, the GT rears look a lot better (fatter?) from the 1/4 front angle with the bigger wing.

Looking at the pics again, it seems the rear of the front wheelarches tuck back in a fair bit, so water/dirt can get picked up from the road and coat the whole side of the car in shit.

Apart from the engines and making them cheaper to build, I'm starting to wonder where Ford's design money went.

I would snap some cnts neck for a VE Senator.
That or a Grange in black, they look fcken great too.

Apart from them but, I think they've both lost the plot.
They lack tuffness.
And no I can't explain that, so nobody ask.

It went to the advertisers to come up with awesome adverts that make you think of other products that have nothing to do with cars...

[Commando]

I reckon "Tits" are very under utilizied in advertising / instead of fingers walking around...how about a nice pair of tits bouncing !!

[spope]

They lack tuffness.

Can you explain that?


I have the G6E Turbo as my desktop at work. Drives the boss mad, but meh, it's my computer.
I want one. Again I personally prefer the "luxury" spec over the "sports" spec. But that's not anything new.

Does anyone else think the GT-E looks kinda boring?
And panda eyes are crap.

Gimme a VE GTS any day. I love the taillights on those things.

[Malakai]

There's just something NQR about the rear door & rear guards with the FGs...

Yep, that is the very first thought that I had too.

[Steady]

They lack tuffness.

I thought about it, and the best way to explain it is, try and picture one cutting hoops in an industrial estate, or dropping a dose next to you on the freeway.
Or dumped on stockies.
Doesn't look right does it?
Lack of tuff(TM)

[Sunboost]

If we don't like them, who will Sad observation.

[EFFalcon]

The FGGTs in particular!

[AaronEF8]

In comparison, what new car would look tough dumped on black stockies? What car since 1987 has ever looked tough dumped on black stockies?

[Steady]

Every Falcon and Commodore up to BF and VZ?
With particular mention to EA-EDs, VR-VS and VY-VZ?

Sunny, I'm sure people will like them, just not jaded and cynical cnts like me that already bought the previous model.
If I'm wrong, I'll give you a chop out and help you find a new job

It's because it's damn near identical to VE.

Euro styling FTMFL.

I want new falcons to be based off the new Camaro/Mustang styling. Those cnuts look tuff as fuk.

[AaronEF8]

You realise the EA styling was pretty heavily influenced by European cars?

It's a new car, not many of us can afford a decent one, then modify it. Does anyone remember when the EA and EF came out? The EA was some wierd plastic fantastic euro lookin thing, and the EF was wierd as hell with no grille and tail-lights that looked like eyes staring back at you. I don't think many people think like that these days.

[pHaT`eL]

Im a fan, I love them. Although the ute kinda looks like its been rear ended in pics, the lines where the flares are. Might just be me?

[Dezza]

Personally, I love them as well. The wheels are a bit of a letdown, but other than that they look great.

[[Sterling]]

i just poped down to the shops and they had a G6E in the shopping centre, MUCH BETTER IN REAL LIFE!!

the interoir was nice aswell..

I reckon. Still undecided so far, but the cars in the flesh look way way better than in any of the pics. They seem to look chunkier than the pics show. Rear still looks like a late model liberty though.

[needfordspeed]

Give them time, they'll grow on all of you I was unsure but if you see one of these next to a BF the BF looks old school....IMO these things are fkn mad lol nothing beats the G6ET....not a fan of the racoon eyes and FPV series yet, have to see them in the flesh I guess.

[Sunboost]

+ 1 for looking better in person. I thought they looked great at MMS. In photos not so great.

[Steady]

I don't know whether I can trust the word of Ford employees, you could just be towing the company line.
I stand by my "utes look homo on the road" comment, cause I seen that sht on the ring road.
Sedans are hmmm. Just hmmm. We'll see.

[Cy4NiD3]

I reckon they look great... give em time to grow... people look at Au's with phat kits on and all that and they look decent when the AU fiirst come out they thought projectile vomit straight away wait till there in the flesh rolling on superlows and black 20's PIMP!

[Stengord]

Kinda like EF-EF Glis where the rear number plate is?

Amen to that!

[Alesia]

i absolutly love the utes , had a couple come into work already

seeing them @ The Motorshow really made me a fan of them , they look so much better in real life.

[needfordspeed]

tough cooler or what!
