Hmmm too hard to tell how I feel about their new look just from those pics. The front bars look a bit corny on the 'phoon....... More weight though? FFS, there was no point in getting excited about the power upgrade afterall.

Disappointing theres not more power, ah well doesnt matter they both look fantastic anyway! The new stripes on the GT looks great too, I can see myself owning either one of those two in the future

Is that exhaust pipe on either side on the GT?
Also anyone read where it said the tonneau cover gets a bulge like the bonnet? Interesting....

Notice that the BF GT gets the BA MkII GT-P wheels.
I really like the GT front but don't know about the Typhoon  _ Overall it looks better than the BA. |

They look pretty good. The wheels on the F6 are better now. I wonder what the GTP has in store, the GT now has the CC ICC and the 19's......

Wow, I was expecting more, and I thought I had low expectations.
Sure they look the goods.. And F6 auto is a new model as such. But wheres the substance? Brembos standard (I actually concider this a negitive, check the price for pads and rotors!). However please note only at the front, they run territory discs at the rear! GT and GTP seem to be getting ever closer on spec. Is it just me or does anyone else feel that a GTP should be something more akin to a Fairmont Ghia, with 290kw, bulge, XR lights, FPV suspension, and a nice premium bodykit? |

They didn't really talk about the GT-P much and I didn't see anything on suspensions either.
Pricing looks good for what has been gained, and I agree the reason to buy GT-P looks thin. Actually the reason to walk past the auto F6 is looking more questionable. I am not sure how they can justify seeing a premium product advertised 30nm down in torque.

Looking at the GT front bar- Does it look like there is a lip that protrudes forward without a license plate recess?

I like what i see, it looks good, but thats about all i can say because thats all we can comment on.
As for the rest of it i really don't know what people seriously expect, i mean how much can they or should they change from model to model?? Its not a playstation or piece of electrical equipment. Im especially not going to B!tch and moan about a model that 1) hasn't been released yet, 2) i havent driven and 3) i know very little about yet, VERY LITTLE....

GT certainly looks better than the Typhoon ... but I don't mind either.
I like the rear of them though ... a nice upgrade from the BA.

GT looks NOICE, i think they were relying on the 6 speed auto to pick up the performance instead of a power increase, although thats no help to the those who go for the manual !!

I like them...especially the 'Phoon.
They've got that balance of ugly but irresistably sexy just right IMO
