I'm buying the XR8 for one prime reason....that engine!

IMHO, as an ex-Falcon owner (ED Classic, BA XR8, FG G6), everything is done better in the ST than in the Falcon. The seats defecate over anything I've sat in in a Falcon. The features of the ST are simply in a different class to the Falcon (although the FG X will be much better than the FG obviously), but the LZ ST will increase that gap once again. There's only three (very minor) things I miss from my G6 compared to the ST, and that is the digital speedo, the ability to increment to the nearest 10km/h on the cruise control, and having the cruise control controls on the outboard side of the steering column.

On the other hand, there will be heaps that I will miss moving from the ST to the XR8, but that will soon be forgotten once I get a chance to open that engine up

If i do upgrade i know for sure it will be stealth grey, i love that colour. Pity some mods on my ST wont work on the new one.

I love the changes they have made for the new model. It gives it a more polished finish for me. That also includes the revised interior! I really like the changes they have made to the rear end, kinda reminds me of the changes i have made to mine

Yeah, that grey is an awesome colour. Not one that I would have given that I spend at least 1 hour and 15 mins driving on country roads every day, but I still love it! in fact, I have that colour car as one of my wallpapers on the computer here at work.
