Default Re: The FGX as the ultimate enthusiast collectors falcon?

FG-X is a nice design but I doubt it will be remembered as the best looking Falcon.

A few months back, I was looking at buying an FGX XR8. My budget was around $50k and after seeing one in the metal, it just didn't do it for me, from some angles you can see how it's just an FG with a new face/rear-end.

I ended buying a 2011 GT instead... why you may ask ?

Mostly because it wears the GT badge, I find touchscreens in cars distracting and because it's a GT !

Some people don't see the full significance of this badge... not only were they smashing Holden's at Bathurst and the fastest sedans in the world for a while, the original 1967 XR GT was also Australia's 1st ever performance sedan !

All Falcon's will be remembered for the great cars they are but we all know which badge will be fondly remembered for it's heritage.

By the way, I could care less what mine is worth in 20 years !
