In the month of May XR8's outsold Late model camira SS for the first time "EVER".Ford sold 267 XR8's to GM's 259 SS's.

Also from today until the start of Sept Phantom will be phased out and replaced by "Velocity"(described as a "youthfull blue")

Wow, never would have expected that

Ford must be doing some good deals on the XR8 for that to occur l reckon.

RIP Phantom

Sad to see Phantom go, was a very stunning individual color, liked it very much. You are right Simon I think they've been chucking in prem sound and 18's and a few other bits, very suprising indeed, might be pre new model jitters for crummydoore buyers.

Thanks for the news fordtech!

good work

rip-PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interlesting...

and we all know that XR6Ts have been outselling XR8s. Wonder how many Ts get shipped per month. Anyone?

I think in the performance sedan stakes Ford's BA has well n truly made up ground on the Lion mob. Go the Barra!

Well im glad to see phantom go, I went phantom as it was something diffrent, now everwhere I go all I see are phantoms!

I'm very disappointed to see Phantom, Blood Orange, Citric Acid and Blueprint go.

The replacements have (nor will) no way lived up to the same 'punch in the face' that thos bad boys have.

I guess XR8 sales will always be good when extra fruit is thrown into the basket.

The XR8 is a more appealing car, I think, so it doesn't really surprise me.

I wonder what this new blue will be like.

Wasn't phantom being replaced by Vibe?

I saw a Vibe XR on the weekend!!!
