I hope when Ford do the reveal tomorrow, that it has more colours than just that gold. Whilst I love it, it is polarising and I think the new car looks that good, it should be shown in a popular colour so no one goes..."hmmm don't know about the colour" What I'm trying to say is that I don't want the launch colour to take away from the attention of the actual looks of the car. Looks that are absolutely fantastic.

IMHO that Falcon (any colour) looks a Lot better than the vf.
I hope I do not upset any vf owners on this forum ;) |

If there are VF owners on this forum, that's too bad. I feel sorry for them ;) Oh but many may have needed a wagon, blah blah.

I can't wait to see the XR8 in the blue from the teaser video.
My kids are old enough now for me to trade the TTG in on an XR8 surely, 5/7yo and all their crap will fit in a sedan... My wife isn't as confident...

Wow tht gold rocks. Can someone remove the bulge just to see what the T will look like?
They should have made all the GTFs in that colour mandatory as per XR GT

That pearl white could actually work. Probably more of a G6E colour, but I think the XR could pull it off.

Some think it's a photoshop.
Looks way too neat to be a photoshop to me! What do you guys think? |

Agree on that Ego render, looks nice.... Ego BF1 F6 was my first ZF maybe Smoke for the last?
Good work Ford, could have done less but looking like you have done a great job easing us into the next generation Daniel |
