It was the same with the F6, as soon as the auto became available it sold twice as much as the GT/GT-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 06/05/08 08:09 AM Share Posted 06/05/08 08:09 AM The dealer I know work for had to new fg falcons delivered today so I thought I would give you all my first impressions.The cars that were deliverd were a xt and a G6.On first look they both looked a lot smaller but as you looked at them beside a bf that impression is wrong.I have not driven them yet will do when we pd these for sale.The first thing I did was to check interior room as I am 6 foot 4 and this is going to be the one thing that us big guys will look for.I first sat in the drives seat of the g6 and set the seat and steering wheel to my liking and than I left it there and sat in the back seat and found I could sit behind the drivers seat easierly so it can take 4 6foot 4 people with ease.It had about an extra inch of room compared to my ba xr6t.As for the rest of the car ford have done a great job on both exterior and interior finish and looks.Just some tech info.They now have 3 auto transmissons in the model line up.The old 4 speed is still in the lpg powerd vechiles.A new 5 speed auto for the stanard trans models.And a revised version of the six speed auto in the higher spec models including xr range.I will up date my views more soon.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a few things I already new, he told me that all the 6 cyl engines now rev to 6500.Maybe you can check this out whilst giving a newie a very fast run-in....Mack.
