MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 16y 9m 23d Posted 05/12/11 09:10 AM Share Posted 05/12/11 09:10 AM The wheels you see are what you get there will be no option, apparently they had a bit of a backlash when they dropped the dark argents so have brought these back as standard. OMG... LOLSo throwing in what were previously options (floor matts, reverse camera) with minimal changes to headlights (why I don't know) and larger display qualifies the car as a MKII...? If I was a FG owner I'd be pretty pissed off with Ford for just depreciating my car for really no reason at all - unless of course there's a FG MKII upgrade (yer right). Unbelievable.

That's disappointing to say, but not enough changes to justify the 'upgrade' for the coin IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had mojor changes it would date it. Doesn't get away form the fact that they don't appear to have put much work/thought into it though.

Anyone buying a new one will want the new model, even though it's minimal. Really unfortunate considering it really isn't an upgrade. Unbelievable. ... and all the BF owners who were holding out for some "average" looks will probably skip the entire generation now and wait for the next one (if there is one).

IMO, the FG F6 is a fantastic looking car. Some seem to forget how much good gear went into the FG also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that the fpv mats were an option iin the first place is a joke. They look like they're worth all of 30 bucks. I reckon the upgrade should've included;- Stereo upgrade and/or optional roof-mounted DVD screens/players as a multimedia package.- Black headlining. Creamm looks cheap and yuck.- More modernised gauge cluster.All of those are small but noteworthy changes that could've made the FG FPV's at least feel more like the 60-80k car that they are. HSV's just feel like a more. complete package to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw an F6 in Hallam with a sunroof and now I want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
