Looks great. Now if they sat that low in real life no one would bother lowering them! Does the R-Spec suspension make them lower or is that fudged for advertising purposes.

All they do is revalve the shocks, the springs aren't changed so the height will be the same.

$1500 more than a standard Typhoon. And yes it looks absolutely beautiful, the grey on the bonnet spoiler supports looks great too.

Does anyone else think the "Fully Blown" tag is ridiculous ?

The car has no blower and the "fully" term targets young rice boys who could not afford it.

I agree, "Fully Blown" is not really what the car is about.

But it looks hot in white.

Yep

It looks like any lowered BF Typhoon. Or maybe the fancy new brochure will increase sales.

In the 21st century buy now, go bankrupt later, 4000 years no interest world we live in there are many many examples of young rice boys driving cars they can't afford. Just go and read the "performance" section of AFF for examples.

If you are financing your car over more than 3 years or it takes more than 25% of your income then you really can't afford it but this has never stopped anyone before. Emotion and passion always over rule logic and sense.

Little Freddy Frootloop, 22 years old, single, lives in a rented flat, earns $600 per week after tax, of course he will buy a $80,000 car over 6 years with a 30% residual. Then he will modify to void warranty and shorten its life but make it go like the clappers. His mates reckon he is the KING.
Of course 2 years later when it is old and broken and he still owes $83,000 he will try to sell it because he cannot afford the payments and find that it is worth about 30k because no one wants a modded, thrashed "old car".
And the 150cm plasma, PS3, surround sound and computer from hardly normal are all coming to the end of the interest free period and nothing has been paid off them. Telstra, Voda and Optus are all referring the debts to a collector. VISA, Mastercard and Amex are all frozen. His now ex-mates reckon someone else is the KING and have forgotten his name but still laugh about it in the pub.

Nahhhh this only happens to OTHER people.

My 19 year old former PA bought a brand new $70k Pursuit, she doesn't have it now but she does have a beautiful baby boy.......

So in a way it has, ive seen turbos called blowers before.

Very nice to look at but it could have used an extra 30 or so extra kW's. Still good though.

nice looking F6, wonder how different it will look in the flesh. i bet not as lowered, all cars look better in the brochure ;)
I don't think this is worth any extra $$, just another marketing hype.
