Actually when I sit in my R32 GT-R & look at the dash I think "Fk I wish this didn't look like a VN Commodore."

LOL!

anyway i think this is a pretty nice car and would buy one just gota sell my car

meh - everyone knows plastic adds to the wank factor

[dezz]

To all these people saying its crap plastic etc, are you delusional?

Do you think a skyline dash is made out of carbon fiber or something?

The new G6E Turbo is another force to be reckoned with, the luxury spec that goes a stink (Jemerm C. word ).

Wheels Magazine managed to get the following results.

0-100km/h: 5.0 seconds

0-400metres: 13.3 seconds

Wow so the luxury model is faster?! Go figure ey...

I truly am a Ford man. I wish I could a afford a BA> XR8, because if I could I sure would miss my Skyline.

The FG shape really is growing on me. At the motor show I thought from the side view it looked too plain. Especially with the performance models there is no chunky side skirts of aggressive bodywork to really emphasise the Ford muscle under the bonnet. But as the days go on I'm liking it more and more... hard not to with those times!

Fear the twin-turbo V6 in 2010!!!

The W427 looks like shit?

Sure it's 7 litres and 370-odd kw but I'll bet it won't go that much better than the FPV F6 to warrant the extra cost. It'll be a car made for the die hard Holden fans (That'll probably get munched by someone that gets an F6 and plays with the power a little bit - or someone with an R35 lol)

I never said the W427 looked good, it was more about the quickest Aussie car built

I seriously doubt that ford will allow the turbo to be so quick.( 12s ). The trend in the past has always been to push the V8 for the top line performance car and the everything else after it. if the factory turbo falc is running that fast it will kill the market for the V8...As for a twin turbo V6 in the future model....I am a little sceptical they will do this,maybe if it comes from Ford US twin turbo, but I just dont see Ford Oz going down the engineering path trying to squeeze twin turbos onto a V6. Its a far more expensive excercise than the single turbo straight six currently in production

they are going to market them xr6t n xr8 on same level. gone are the day's where the xr8 was supreme..... they actualy are ALOT different to drive overall then the previous ba/bf.. totaly re-designed over all, alot of work has gone into this thing... its going to be a good thing.

And at an estimated $150K the most expensive.

Quite stupid comparing the new FG range with the W427 and saying the W427 will be faster.
