What about Rapid's and the Atomic 9 second attempt? Enough with the cardigan BS already, they are as quick as the XRT and F6 but a luxury sleeper version. That's it.

Mika I don't know where the old man stuff comes from but I'm only 37, and this car will most definately see the drag strip.As for going a bit fast well I have certainly done that, with a string of fast fords in the past and quite a few others, least of which was a 460 big block in an xb running 9's. I must admit im not looking for that again but I want it to look as good as it goes and love the understated look of the g6e turbo and with all the good bits inside, I had my choice of a xr6t or the g6e and choose the better value for money car imo. :icon_ford:

All im saying is that Jap wheels IMO dont suit a G6, because of the type of car it is, a luxury 4 door family car, that goes well. On a XR, they would suit the car and can look good. The old man comment relates to the types of buyers that Ford aimed the G6 for.. Obviously its not a blanket rule, as you and Dillz have pointed out. Rapid and Atomic are just nutters iMO lol..

Dillz, the cardigan/ bowls I dont think will ever die haha

This has gotten way off topic lol.. PS I'd love a G6T, as im gettin older its more appealing to me, enough with the boy racer look, simple and classy all the way..

As I said earlier, there are heaps of good wheels for G6's mate, just got to see what YOU like..

Totally understand what you are saying Lightning - the F6 looks best in black as it covers up the bodykit a bit, but think the G6 has great sleeper appeal :beerchug:

Dillz - my old man (60) when buying his Audi recently went to Ford and the only car he even slightly considered was a G6E - hated all the FPVs, thought they were "ridiculous" - that's why the G6 has the image it does. The car generally appeals to older people........which in many ways is a good thing!

did he look at the f6e or the gt-e at all?

would have thought something like that would appeal as it doesnt have the panda eyes or the big wings

Quite interesting to see this topic about wheels also include comments about age and who likes what and what would suit who. I'm 49 and own an FG XR6T and certainly not lookin at dropping in to Target for a cardigan and slidiung into an G6. Everyone has their own individual taste and I think the younger guys who own G6 turbo's and like the sleeper look is awesome.

My ambition once I finished with my current ride is to own an F6, they're a beautiful car.

Ha ha Outsider....no mate, he simply hated the FPV "image" - trust me, I wanted him to get the F6E also! :beerchug:

Ended up paying 40K more for a (used) Audi S4 which I think is inferior in many ways.....but his mates also think FPV are rubbish so I suppose that says everything. Older men look for different qualities. (as per G6E buyers over F6 etc etc)

I don't think body age pick cars ,its how old you are in the head. Remember the saying=

Getting old is compulsory- Growing up is optional .

Why is it that cardigan wearing is related to someone who owns a G6 Turbo? I don't get it.

I've seen a pimpin white G6 Turbo with Dark argents cruising around my area Don't think the guy was wearing a cardi...

Am I missing something?

Not that I wear cardigans or drive a G6 Turbo...
