They look quite nice.

I parked next to an FG (maybe G6) on Little Collins St few weeks ago they look alot better in person.

GT-E looks extreme sleeper-spec! Although that's my favourite out of the above I think it'll be a sales flop, especially with the G6E-T alongside it...

GT-E looks a bit weird.
probably needs to be slammed.

F6 and normal GT look mint.

Yeah, I reckon the things NQR with it in the pics are:

1) rim choice, fatter rear rubber + much lower factory ride height (doesn't need to be "slammed" from factory though). A conservative/classy rim style is needed, like along the lines of the BA Ghia rims. The rims in the pic look like cheap TTF rims on special this week only.
2) Cornering lamps are pox
3) bootlip spoiler & chrome FPV garnish are pox
4) bumper fill-in above exhausts & the rear numberplate recess need to be satin black or gunmetal (same as what's in the front bar). Maybe same with sideskirts & absolute bottom "lip" of front bar? Raccoon eyes/stripes can stay with the GT & GT-P though.
5) white bits in the taillights need blacking out
6) tint!

Haha I like how they got rid of the Racoon eyes for the GT-E. I can see that becoming a popular mod for F6 and GT owners.

I also think the bulge looks much better without the stickers all over it. Actually I'm beginning to wonder whether the GT/GT-P would look better without stickers, and the racoon eyes painted to match the rest of the car.

Interiors look pretty good (would probably alter some of the colour combinations though), but I would expect nothing less for the price.

i'd say the blackouts and stickers would probably be optional.

Starter buttons are gay.
What's the hole in the upper left of the grille for? And are they stick-on vents on the front quarters? Seats look mad though, I want some.

Do they have an I6 version of the GT-E?

Aaron, how could you not think of the G6E-T!!! (despite no FPV badges, I'd say it's the direct equivalent to the GT-E)

Rofl Jared.

I'm honestly not a fan of the stripe and bulge decal, along with FPV badges instead of Ford. The carry over wheels don't do it either. Having said that I'd still buy and slam one - but what's the point when a G6ET is $54k (or 22% less than that on the staff discount :D) and looks way better than all of them with the 19" wheel package.

GT-E looks like a liberty in my opinion, and im hoping the stickers on the others are optional. they look tacky as.

The Fairmont Ghia turbo has the XR6T motor doesn't it, rather than the 310kw F6 jobbie? Not that it matters, if I bought one I'd have to mod the crap out of it anyway.

Oh yeah. **** Ford, thinking changing model names makes a difference.

After doing maintainence work out at Ford myself and seeing them on the line and the finished product they look great in the flesh pics just dont do them justice

One of the companies I work for do quite a bit of automotive company stuff we just finished the Instrument panel conveyor system to accept the new model dashes from where they come into the plant and get unloaded in stillages of 9 then unload them into the conveyor that has more bits added to them them into the cars then moves the empty stillages down onto a trailer and out again very cool stuff

photo location looks familiar for 3rd photo on the GT-E :P

sunny do you know if those rims are going to be the only rims available?

i remember reading after the launch there was a bit of criticism on the carry over rims from the BF series.

remove all the black areas around the air dam and shove in a massive cooler.
slam it on some nice 20's

I hope they look better in the flesh because those pics make me want to vomit.

Interiors look damn near identical to the BA, woopidoo.

New cars are teh shit. And by that I mean, actual shit, not "teh bomb shiz"

Motors and boxes would be good though, if you could ditch the fly by wire.
