if you are driving around Moorooka pop into Motorama Ford - they have a black XR8 on display inside the showroom. The sales team are engaging (and no I don't work for Motorama Ford or any other car company) even if you are just popping in to have a look. I don't know if they will allow the XR 8 to be test driven. cheers, Brent

I've seen 3 so far in Sydney, all XRs. Two of them on the Northern Beaches (I didn't get a chance to see whether they were 6s or 8s), and the third one I saw was a white XR8 parked at the airport.
They're out there...

Base model Smoke FG_X criusing along Galway Ave this morning. I was on my pushy so only got a brief geeze at it but they look REAL good from the rear . Backs up what I saw a few months ago out north of Adelaide. Of topic I know but after a 3000km road trip to the bottom of Tassie and back over Xmas, Territories are by far the most used SUV's in Southern Oz. Just out of interest, as a former Terror owner I started counting them coming the other way. We saw hundreds of them. Bloody good product.IMHO.

Apart from mine, it has taken to today for me to spot not one, but two FG X's in my town. A petrol XR6 sedan and a petrol Falcon sedan.

I saw a new Ford XR6 today at the local shops in Broken Hill just up the road from the local ford dealer
so I am not sure if it was a new one driven by staff or one that has been sold it was registered with normal plates The thing that realized it was a new one as it was parked front in so i could not see the no but this one had the external radio antenna on the roof it had that orange out back color

Other than my own, I have yet to see another FGX on the road in Brisvegas!
Cheers, Brent

Finally saw my first FG X in the flesh in Melbourne as I was coming back from Melton and driving through the city, although it was coming down the opposite lane and I didn't get to see much of it. But I do love it from the front, it has a really menacing/aggressive look to it, the rear on the other hand that still has to grow on me. Although I never really was a fan of the rear since the FG models were released.

They are producing and selling so few of them compared to previous new Falcon's when they came out, that they aren't going to be the prominent model on the road like yesteryear.

I think Emporer is definitely the go for the G6ET after seeing that picture, damn it looks good and compliments the car.
