IIRC, it looked like current XT, but with a P))) button, presumably for front sensors, different ICC screen. Still had FG2 XT instrument cluster, so I'm thinking it's just an attribute mule. Also, it had what appeared to be filled in gap, G6E "woodgrain" door spears, grey XT ICC, gotta be a mule.

If not, the interior will be a joke compared to VF. The question is, how long would Ford wait to put new trimmings etc on prototypes. That pic gives us a good indication of what to expect but doesn't tell the whole story.

IMO the only reason he has been questioned is because of the claims about an all new interior.
We have read the comments from Ford themselves where they said don't expect a VF type tech upgrade re interior and a number of people on here who either work for ford or are close have said a number of times expect a FG interior with slight tweeks or have shown recent pics which show a fg based dash layout. If it was gonna be different these pics would show that.

Speculation is all well and good but passing off speculation as fact will always bite you in the ***.

It's the same as the occasional claims that surface that the GTF will be based on the FH. .aint gonna happen, if it really was gonna be based on that, Ford would not be reintroducing the XR8 badge and have announced the death of GT.
