Can't remember where I read it but Ford have registered both the names xr8 sprint and xr6 turbo sprint.

I'm more interested in any possible colours coming, I find most of the FGX XR colours a bit boring and would love an Vixen or Octane XR8, also dobt want to wait for nothing and miss out.

TBH I think octane would not suit the FGX, Vixen yes, maybe some more blues.

My favourite would be a Mars Red return it was short lived in lifespan and would look fantastic.

Green seems to be out of fashion at the moment, there isnt any Fords available in green at the moment.

That short-lived FGMkII Portaloo colour would've looked superb with the FG X's rear chrome flash and DRLs. Nitro is always a great option, also.

Toxic green would be interesting, or maybe that dark green they had in BA's. Cant recall what colour it was called.

If the xr6 turbo sprint eventuates it would be cool if they did some old BA colours from the first Xr6 turbos. Phantom and blood orange would be nice

my personal favorite green was Ultimate Green from the 2010 Focus RS. Sparkles in the sun and looks awesome with black wheels, black highlights etc...
dunno if it would suit the big Falcon though.

Certainly was. In the right light when clean, my AU glistens with a gold fleck through it. Great colour.

I'd love to see a Toxic FG X.

It was discontinued very early in 2003, so I think it was only a B series colour for about 6 months. Saw a BA XR6 in the colour recently.

Mystic Green is my fav (cause i bought it lol), but after 6 years of owning my mystic f6 I still gawk at it when coming back to the car. You can look at it from a single angle and see multiple colour shades based on the cars different lines reflecting light ... Had 9 falcons of diff colours over the years, but mystic is my fav.

Never had a Breeze, but this would be my next favourite green

Right on the money. It is owned by AFF member GTP 044 and he has a build thread here http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...light=congo+gt

That's a shame. I noticed that his signature has not been updated to reflect that.

Was it sold to another AFF member?
