The **** end of that F6 does look a little skyward but it may just be the angle of the pic.
Agree with chook, some more wheel choice would have been nice but overall it is still a very nice and very attractive looking package.

The pics of the F6 and GT in the latest Motor mag look awsome.
Both cars are in Rapid, and the dark wheels on the yellow look ok.

They are the GT that should have come out as the original BA GT. They are gorgeous and now instantly recognisable from a distance.

The quality of the photographs are amazing, certainly a step up from previous efforts by Ford and FPV.

The new twin exaust is nice. However, a little bit more mumbo wouldn't have hurt. I hear its increased in weight too.

I just love the rear ends on the Sedans now - very aggresive. But the only low point for me is the large gaps between the guards and tyres. They just make the car look as if it sits a little high?

Just saw a white BF XR6 Turbo as it went past this afternoon. It looked like one of our local ford salesman. We have around 6 of them living near us. Think one of them had the keys to the car. Looks pretty nice on the road. I had to look twice, but the new front bar drew my attentions straight away. Looks great

Noice... If there's one thing that the Japanese automotive industry has taught us over the last 20 years, it's that stickers & bling = horsepower... These things should FLY!!!

These cars look great, however, I think the GT-P badge in the grille is a little large and makes the front look cluttered. If they reduced the size of the badge it would be spot on. Just my 2c.
Cheers, Danny

Whoa. They look sensational. I am in love with the rear end of the GT-P, can't say the same for the colour of the Phoon's rims. But still look brilliant!

Wow, they look absolutly awesome...
As for looking high, its proberly because they are brand new cars. I remember reading somwhere that a new car will look high for a little while, and then lower its self as the suspension "settles" When will we see a FPV in the pearl colour?
