Its the same as the old why buy an F6 over the XR6T. I think the F6 has held its own quite well in the past, as will the F6E.

The real issue here is you are paying extra money for an F6 and getting... an F6. Seems odd.
Remember all the options and features that are offered on an FPV are pretty standard or are available on most cars half its size and 1/4 of its price.
When people say an FPV isn't special enough, that is why. You can't pull into a carpark and brag that my new FPV has auto headlights, or GPS, or Cameras, or Bluethtooth. Because chances are every $30K hatchback has that all too. Most people (if they cared) will see an XT Falcon that looks nice and cost as much as three.
Unfortunately if you sit in an XT and jump straight in a F6 you feel like you back in the XT with some different trim. Performance aside.
The same can't be said for German models, an M5 does not feel remotely like a 530i, but thats why the price tag is three times higher.
For FPV the price tag is higher, but the standard of car is not.
