No emails from Ford, only dealer updates.

I should be picking it up in 2 weeks on the Saturday.

Ghiaman · 08-08-2015, 10:29 PM

Why 2 weeks if its there now? Or is that your self imposed pick up date?

Yeah. I wanted to pay cash for the car but i cant organise the cash in time. I have to organise a 3 month loan to buy it.

Plus i had 2 cars to sell. I sold one the other night and that went today ( only took 26 minutes to sell). The other ill probably end up trading in.

guys, anyone good with photoshop? I would like to see how a stripe looks before I put it on the FG-X

**Cav** · 11-08-2015, 10:05 AM

I have lost the outside temp on my display for my FGXXR6 ute.

Have I pressed the wrong button somewhere (on the touch screen, you know what I mean)

How do I get it back?

Tap on the middle part at the very top where the clock is. That takes you into the settings to pick what you want.

Go the FG MkI side stripes - good enough for the GTF.....

Still hard to see a FG X on the road. Lucky if I see one a week.

I've seen a grand total of 1 outside of those sitting on the lot.

stig_3754 · 11-08-2015, 03:23 PM

I see quite a few where I come from. At least 1, 2 sometimes 3 a day! Mostly XR's and some utes.

Yeah so do I when I drive past the local Ford dealer.

Hmmm,
I see more on the road than in the dealers yard.

Perko · 11-08-2015, 07:44 PM

A fair few in Victoria when I travel there. Country NSW a couple of utes but heaps of cop cars. In Qld still seeing a few around. Now 2 XR8's in Toowoomba that I have seen. Happy I am getting one in Silhouette. Looks so menacing on the road.

**Mechan1k** · 11-08-2015, 09:30 PM

Have seen quite a few around Sydney metro area ... a fair few base and XR6 utes. More and more XR8s though ... they are getting popular. Have only seen one G6E (and that was a Turbo model)

Funnily enough, not that I've driven past a Ford dealer lately, but when I did I'd be very lucky to see 1 FG X in view.

stig_3754 · 12-08-2015, 09:33 AM

Just a further update. Spotted 3 more FG X's on the road on the way to work this morning. A G6E in Smoke, an XR6 Ute and XR6 Sedan, both in Kinetic. No Ford dealer in sight during my travels. Also interesting, I only spotted 2 VF's hahaha

suttoo · 12-08-2015, 02:55 PM

If anyone is having trouble getting one, we have 2 auto XR8's unsold due for November delivery, one black one white at the moment but can change colour. Sutton Ford, Waikerie SA

Cobra · 12-08-2015, 02:56 PM

I see bugger all FG-X Falcons around Adelaide/SA. I saw a dark grey (I'm completely out of touch with the name of Ford colours these days) XR8 at my local footy club in the Barossa Valley about a month ago, I saw a darkish blue XR8 around the western suburbs and a handful of utes around the place, too. It really is disappointing. But I was happy to see quite a few of all varieties of FG-X Falcon on the roads in and around Geelong on my recent trip there last weekend. I even saw an XR6 Turbo cop car parked outside Simonds Stadium, inside the grounds of Kardinia Park. It looked spot on, too!

hendrixhc · 15-08-2015, 07:53 PM

Well got to sit in my new XR8 today.

As of 0900 next Saturday she will be coming home!

Aussie Falcon · 18-08-2015, 04:52 PM

I got an email from Ford about the Ford Falcon MkII. Any ideas what is new?

SensationFG8 · 19-08-2015, 06:20 AM

Looks like they forgot to update the model from fg Mkii to fgx. I'm basing this on the fact they say "available now".

Poor ford marketing.....oh wait that's not new.

**Polyal** · 19-08-2015, 09:11 AM

Thats just woeful.

Cobra · 19-08-2015, 09:14 AM

They'll advertise the XR6 Turbo 'Sprint' once the Falcon has ceased production altogether! *rolleyes*

Bobman · 19-08-2015, 01:08 PM

Got the same email months ago. It makes you wonder why people like this deserve to be paid!

Focused · 19-08-2015, 04:08 PM

I do recall doing working experience at Ford years ago (>10 years) and they were asking the 16yo kid (me) about the Falcon's specifications. They had no idea...

apolloxbgt · 20-08-2015, 09:15 PM

2 xr8s (autos)at sunford in vic,unallocated no wait:

If anyone from here buys one tell them Anthony from harcourt sent you.

PHawk · 21-08-2015, 07:57 AM

10 XR8's on NZ's Trademe, prices range from $70K- $59K, yet to see one on the road.

**Grunter** · 21-08-2015, 10:11 AM

I haven't seen a XR8 in the wild yet, however have seen quite a few of the other models. I've got to say one of my favourites in the looks department is the ute with the tray back.
