Default XR8 removed from ford website

anyone else noticed that the xr8 has been removed from the ford web site?


i have been living outback the last few months. have i missed anything? are they dropping the xr8 due to FPV picking up the GS?? is the xr8 officially dead??

rumour is it might be released again mid next year with a 5.0L n/a since both the GS and GT are s/c but until then it is dead
