It looks like an Aurion rooted a Falcon and thats the result...

Hi,

To me it just looks like another new four door sedan? With a couple of exceptions, every car looks like another car.

Cheers,
Nik

Yuck.


















That is all.

Looks poo. I only like the backside cos its Gen4 like...new styled cars are so bleh these days.

VE is by far the best looking new (aus-available) car.

I was only just reading an article on this earlier. The base XR6T has the same power as the previous F6 so the new F6 is good for 300+kw. Interior is very nice aswell.

Looks OK to me, I like the big hump on the bonnet & the fact that it'll be worth $12,000 in 2yrs, you really can't beat them for value as a good second hand family car that does most things right.

what are those things that a right??? Breaking down and paying $$$$ for repairs and also drinks petrol like there is no tomorrow....

They have pretty much given the XR8 and the XR6T the BF PFV equiv. specs.
The new XR8 has 290Kw and 520Nm , the XR6T gets 270Kw and 533Nm,
The press release at the time mentioned for the F6 that it gets a new turbo, bigger intercooler and more boost over the XR6T, which is pretty much what the new falcon XR6T press release is saying, the relevance to me mentioning this is I believe that they have given the XR6T the outgoing generations running gear and the same for the XR8 receiving the GT running gear.
Specifications for the FPV range should be available a little before June.

I personally love it. I wouldnt call it revolutionary, more like evolutionary.

But the G6E Turbo looks the goods.

Mate, I did over a million K's in an EB taxi, replaced the head cos I cooked it at 850,000K's & the steering developed a leak at about 600,000K's, pretty much never let me down and never used a drop of oil, when I sold it it continued on as a taxi for another 2yrs.
The things they do right are .............. transport 5 people in comfort, tow your boat or caravan with ease, cost SFA to run on gas & not too bad on country trips using petrol, handle surprisingly well for a family barge & are pretty reliable as far as a cheap 2nd hand car goes...........no they are not as good as a Subaru because we are all biased but you have to give credit where credit is due and they do outsell Subi sedans by about 20 to 1.

id rather pay the repair costs for a ford or holden than a subaru

I dont like it personally.

The VE looks better.

Easy fix, tell the owners to put a cap full of brake fluid in the power steering pump, should last for another 20 - 50k & cost them nothing but workshop's can't do that because it'll cost them money...........and this came from a workshop that worked exclusively on taxi's. You probably see more FORD, HOLDEN, MITSUBISHI & HYANDAI's because apart from Toyota they are a lot more common than Subi's & Mazda's and have crap resale values so tend to get treated in the same manner.
I'm not saying they are a great car but foe Joe average with a wife & 2.2 kids they are pretty good value as a 2yo 2nd hand car.
