Ordered my FG MKII XR6T Ute today. Silouhette, 3 piece lid w/sportsbar, Lux pack.
A week of playing games with dealers is exhausting though. Some of the garbage I've had to listen to is ridiculous. Haven't been told when delivery will be... next year is likely I'd imagine. Will take plenty of pics. |

Members should vote on this website to get the falcon back up in the running. Even if you don't vote for the falcon or a ford, it will be good to have a say.

Congrats to Martyk54 who has ordered a MkII ute, I can imagine the lack of knowledge etc of the new models, including options available with associated prices. Went through the same thing myself when the 50th anniversary came out, I could easily tell the dealers and salespersons who had their act together and those that didnt. Perhaps Ford should focus more on educating salespersons on the new models before they come out, to make it a more slick and professional operation. |

Note how there is 5 fords to vote for, to the one holden
2 of those fords are designed and built here, a further one was developed here. The one and only holden is a global design, built here, but engineered and designed over seas. 'nuff said.

the point is that Ford and their fans should be playing to existing vehicle strengths and not navel gaze at perceived weaknesses and deficinecies like no Stationwagon or no XR8. While it's good to see competition, it's not essential that Ford and Holden to compete directly, it's catually better for both if they do slightly different thinks and capture different buyer groups.. |

Had a very quick drive of a FGII G6E last night and three big things I noticed, the larger screen doesn't look odd in the FG, the satnav craps all over the previous unit with so much added functionality/features plus I really thought the steering was noticebly lighter at low speeds compared to my G6ET which has the same size tyres/rims as the new FGII G6E. And Havana/Cashmere is a very nice combo.
