hmmmmm I'm still undecided on whether I really like the FG. From those pics the cluster definitely looks pov pack like it was pulled from a older model Hi-Lux (with the blue dials). The wheels are terrible. The turbo outlet pipe looks like an afterthought. The center dash unit looks 11ty times harder to use than a BA/BF. Why replace dials with buttons??? And the under bonnet heat shield just looks shit plain and simple.
Until I see one up close I'll decide but just going on looks, at the moment I'd probably lean towards a VE, however I wasn't that impressed with the fit and finish of the VE.....seemed a bit cheap. If only the TRD Aurion was RWD and a bit cheaper.

Re: FG XR6T - Close-up pics
I can't wait to check out the new F6 when it hits the dealerships soon.
For anyone interested I enquired about pricing for the turbo models at the time that I took those pics...
XR6T = $50,000 drive away
G6E Turbo = $64,000 drive away
F6 = $74,000 drive away
In the end if you want a fast and powerful car but don't give a fark for having a newer car then you can build an e-series to smash any of those for only $25,000 to $30,000.
If you need to have a newer car then the FG turbo models are awesome. I'm in love with all three of them... But I'm glad I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on a car though. It's not worth it in the big scheme of things.

Re: FG XR6T - Close-up pics
BF TYPHOON is the ultimate wrapper for the I6 in my opinion. Slick and elegant inside and out. The interior of the new FG is a bloody abortion, the centre dash cluster has that in your face AU feel to it. While the side moulds/lines in the sheetmetal just looks plain SLOPPY next to a VE and this is coming from someone who drives an AU
