So far Im impressed:

theyve fixed the dodgy parkbrake area with a leather cover

factory stereo now supports MP3 CDs

driver seat has been lowered a tad

car has only put on 10kg!

proper lower grill on front

revised tacho and speedo so its clearer, less busy

much better fuel consumption - 11.7L/100km for the XR6T

*****************************

do footwell lights come as standard now?

do we have an AUTO up feature for the driver window?

is the front seat(s) forward-back mechanism electric yet?

Dags, just because there was a picture of the car doesn't mean it was built, I don't know if you remember the Laser Lynx, but the original sketches for that car were penned in 1987! The new Late model camira ute was penned back in 2002 as well, so beleive me, these cars are being tested right down to the wire!

Tested yeah, but I still find it hard to believe that they were 'only just ready in time' to launch the FPV's given what we've seen and heard for the last six months.

Spy shots of a camouflaged GT from June last year:

I think the final product would've only just been finished for the launch, ie interior trims and fit of instruments, if you look at the bottom of the FPV ICC, there seems to be two blank spaces just to the left of where the starter button is now located

Isn't it funny that all the mods that have been done on this forum appear in the new XR Turbo.

Does the forum get credit for the R&D done.

New XRTurbo.

Increase boost for 6 to 10psi

Increased intercooler 50%

Reduced air flow restrictions

All sound familiar doesn't it
