So your saying that this car is worth $79K because it has a few features that pretty much standard on cars in the 45-55K range?
I thought FPV was supposed to offer something special? This car has nothing to offer over the G6E-T, its not even that much faster (not enough anyway).
FPV needs, technology and innovation as standard and options that are not available on normal cars, and not available in the Falcon range and are completely unique to the model.
As it stands there is nothing hard about buying your own XT and coming very close to making your own equivalent spec car. It won't be an 'FPV' but so what, the FPV part doesn't actually give you anything except a build number. I doubt anyone on here woudl admit to wanting one because it has a number printed in the dash.
And if you have the money to pay for that privilege then your really demonstatring you have more cents the sense.

Ok, I know someone already has proven that if you add all the extra's a F6E has over a base XT that it'll cost even more if you did it yourself, but this comment is ridiculous. Why would anyone, ever, ever, ever want to buy an XT and spend an extra 40 grand and make it a F6E equivilant??????? If you did that, it would be hilarious to compare the two cars after 5 years when it came time to selling them, I reckon the F6E after 5 years would be worth around $35k mark, maybe more, but the XT would be worth 15k at best. So who in their right mind would do it?
The thing that bothers me about this whole topic is FPV have just brought out another great looking car (we can all agree with that, well mostly), it looks great, will go great, it has a little niche, people will buy it, its good for Ford and FPV, BUT, most of us on here a just bagging FPV and saying we wouldnt buy it! Are we Ford supporters or what? They havent brought out another AU here, the F6E is a beautiful machine and if you dont have the money to buy one, you arent qualified to whinge about its price or whether you would buy it. You guys are hard to please..
Remember that a european car with similar specs (maybe not the gadgetry) such as the BMW 550, which only has 270kws or the E class 500. Sure the BMW has the 7 speed box now, but the BMW and MERC are around 160K to 180K, so we are talking 100K less for a refined local High performance Luxury car! Now im not saying the F6E can match BMW in all departments, the BMW is engineered better and all the rest but for 80K the FPV is still a good car. Lets hope that FPV can implement some more specs and gadgets in coming models.
