2008 Ford FG Falcon G6E specifications

By Alborz Fallah | April 14th, 2008

The next level up from the G6 is the G6E, the car which builds on the nod to “Ghia” and you can almost call it the Falcon Mondeo, given its rather European-inspired styling and distinct design cues.

On top of all the features found in the G6, the E adds the highly sought after ZF six-speed automatic transmission, plus side indicators integrated into the exterior mirror housing, a front fender badge, unique 17-inch alloy wheels and a unique G6E front grille.

Interior features include Bluetooth® mobile phone integration module, a premium audio system with seven-inch TFT colour ICC screen, six-disc in-dash CD player and subwoofer, an electrochromatic rear vision mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seats and an eight-way power driver’s seat with three-position memory.

Safety is further added on from the G6, with the E range available with side curtain airbags as standard equipment.

This or Calais, its said that the Calais doesnt come standard with leather trim.
Duck

Thats hard because exterior wise the Calais still looks good.

Its good to see that Ford has chosen different tail lights to differentiate between XT and G-series. This is one thing Holden has done well since VY. Ford did it first with the EL though…..
Duck

^Dont u mean since the VQ/VN?
BOSSCR

Well Duck,

If you want to get technical, GMH did it with the VH SLE in the form of some bolt on reflectors….

At the end of the day, i think it was a good move….
Duck

It was a good move BOSSCR

Just had a look at one this morning, an amazing car. Had a look then at a Calais V. All I can say is Holden, you’ve got nothing

Even though is car is new, the looks aren’t, the front has a slight cosmetic change and the rear is a combination of the 2004 & 2000 models, at least the interior has changed

I bought a 2009 G6E second hand in November 2010 colour Seduce. Ive found the car to be very competent on all surfaces and a real pleasure to drive. Only two points in the negative, you get a space saver spare wheel and the reverse camera is no good in the rain due to water on the lens giving a blurred picture. Performance is great and ZF six speed gear box gives good economy for a car of this size. My previous car was a Falcon EF Futura. There is no comparison between the two.
