EFSIX I Lead Not Follow... Member 1,026 Member For: 12y Gender: Male Location: Westside,Melbourne Posted 24/08/14 01:15 PM Share Posted 24/08/14 01:15 PM Dont like it either. The rear reminds me of some of the newer audi/beamer or some other car. Cant put my finger on it right now.Dissaponted in the interior. Right now an hsv looks more appealing ffs.hey buds your thinking Jaguar xf rear end..lol but I like the jags so that's why I don't mind the rears.interior, yeah the seats havnt bloody changed since 2002 but that's from what I can see? same as what another member said,there tech is new to ford but a long way off any jap car..lol cant compare interior to the vf in no way, shape or form does it come close and im a ford guy..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there mention/hint somewhere along the line that it's not? Either way I'll still be thinking seriously about grabbing one...fcks me which one though.

High 11's with just a tune in an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 18y 11m 1d Posted 24/08/14 10:27 PM Share Posted 24/08/14 10:27 PM (edited) I like the blue colour.I think what throws you off is that the new front and rear ends don't follow the natural evolutionary progression of the XR.As in when I look at an FG XR, I can see how the front end does look like that sleek, aggressive, aerodynamic “falcon” look...(falcon as in the bird)So to me the FG looks like a complete car, as in the front end, matches the rear end, and everything in between.Where as the FGX seems like a "copy and paste" job of the front end and rear end, to a body that wasn’t really meant for it.They have copy and pasted a front end that possibly really doesn't represent the next step in the evolution of the car.They have taken it from looking like an aggressive falcon (I’m talking about the bird here)…to looking like a snake which I believe the Mustang is modelled on.Not sure if this makes sense, as it’s hard to put down in words.I probably sound like David AttenboroughThough after saying all that, I’m sure the look will grown on me, just need more time to adjust to the contrasting look of the car… Edited 24/08/14 10:29 PM by boost69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure what my next car will be to be perfectly honest, I doubt it will be a ford as I dont want the same interior as what I have now.

Surely the manual would be the better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
