I'm thinking a lot - certainly me, are so damn disappointed in FGX. Maybe not the XR8 as much. Even my dealership manager mate doesn't think they'll move many turbos. I tried really hard to like it but just can't.

A good second hand FG turbo can be had pretty cheaply. You also won't have the insurance hit by not wearing an FPV badge. If you could get a good one, the 50 anniversary models were nicely featured.

I was looking at some audi's but iirc the A5 was a 2 or 2.2 ltr 4banger , that aside very nice vehicle

Looks like its a common theme now moving onto better packages...... Totally sympathise playerz

So what's people's thoughts on the fgx?

Also I am the only one that finds it ironic that our newly converted holden driving friends are bagging out the level of features available on the FG-X whilst informing us at the same time that Holden are progressing stripping features off the last commodores?

I don't mind the look of the FG X, but I just don't like it enough to consider buying one.

I was holding out for the last XR8 but after seeing the lack of change on the inside and a somewhat bland makeover of the front and rear that just don't blend (imo) well with the rest of the car I started looking at other alternatives. While a great package it was not different enough to the the FG for me.

In Black or Smoke the new XR8 does look quiet nice in person but again nothing special. If upgrading from a B series it may have been a different story.
