The F6 310 sedan Looks awesome, lets just hope it works for the blue oval, if not then alot of people will be without a job, there a nice lookin car

by **Kaddis** » May 14th, 2008, 9:15 am

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.

by **Commando** » May 14th, 2008, 9:17 am

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...

by **EFFalcon** » May 14th, 2008, 9:23 am

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

F6 and normal GT look mint.

are they out yet? i only ever see the new mondeo come thru work, The front looks like a G6E

are those wheels on the F6 ute the same as dump3d?

by **Alesia** » May 14th, 2008, 9:25 am

ive had a couple of the utes come through my work already , dealerships are taking orders now . could have been a dealer principal or something along those lines .

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!

by **nommic** » May 14th, 2008, 9:51 am

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.

by **EFFalcon** » May 14th, 2008, 9:57 am

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

by **nommic** » May 14th, 2008, 10:10 am

If so, that's good!

by **AaronEF8** » May 14th, 2008, 10:19 am

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?

by **Commando** » May 14th, 2008, 10:23 am

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)

Yes, Ford copied them from his avatar.

by **Sunboost** » May 14th, 2008, 10:29 am

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

) and looks way better than all of them with the 19" wheel package.

by **needfordspeed** » May 14th, 2008, 10:31 am

Yes yes with staff discount we can get G6Et for 46k fully optioned

Now to find 46k

by **BlackED_Sprint** » May 14th, 2008, 10:31 am

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

by **Commando** » May 14th, 2008, 10:33 am

Sunny should do a group-buy on G6E-Ts for us then

22% discounts for everyone!

by **needfordspeed** » May 14th, 2008, 10:40 am

haha imagine that.......i'd bet 46K that people would put their names down then pull out at the last minute

by **AaronEF8** » May 14th, 2008, 10:50 am

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.

by **needfordspeed** » May 14th, 2008, 10:57 am

G6Et has the XR6T motor 270kw/533nm

by **ned** » May 14th, 2008, 11:10 am

Suss you guys, new jobs all pro and shit! Funny kunts haha.

by **Schmee** » May 14th, 2008, 11:16 am

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

Kev

by **Sunboost** » May 14th, 2008, 11:16 am

Yep. Full access. I chkd out MRDOSE's warranty history etc. etc.

Come up with new trans at 78000km due to "erratic operation". Funny sht, first I'd heard or seen. There were about 6 or 7 other things too.

Fairmont Ghia 4 lyf! They fooled no one.

Sunny, I would ask if you could look up my car, but I'm not sure I want to know

by **Sunboost** » May 14th, 2008, 11:23 am

Not really keen on giving out those details too Nommic, could get in some trouble :ugeek:

by **stevo** » May 14th, 2008, 11:27 am

Yeah i asked for mine, guessed that wasnt going to happen.

by **EF ECTIV** » May 14th, 2008, 12:24 pm

love the look of the F6 and GT.... Those racoons eyes look killer.....

by **FTE146** » May 14th, 2008, 1:12 pm

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

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.

by **Sunboost** » May 14th, 2008, 1:13 pm

Yeah those are the rims, they aren't changing. What you see is what you get!!!

by **Gozza** » May 14th, 2008, 1:53 pm

id take the seats

by **wicksy** » May 14th, 2008, 5:00 pm

i wonder if ford are still going to use put the key in the ignition style o r like what the xr5 mondeo has, just make sure u got the keypad and then hit the power button, i hate the alice coopers eyes on teh GT and phoons, but i like the GTE

by **EFFalcon** » May 14th, 2008, 5:02 pm

i'd be keen to cut the hell out of that front bar.
remove all the black areas around the air dam and shove in a massive cooler.
slam it on some nice 20's

by **SLY347** » May 14th, 2008, 5:22 pm

Dont know about the black area's or the bonnet on the GT....looks to busy. Apart from that, looks nice.

by **Rollin** » May 14th, 2008, 7:37 pm

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.

by **Kenaz** » May 14th, 2008, 8:59 pm

GT bonnet decals look SHIT!!

by **-jjM-** » May 14th, 2008, 9:17 pm
