l much prefer the BF. It gains its own identity instead of being a direct clone of its more expensive brother. And then there's those 19's

If l go an FPV it will be the F6.

I like the BA, as I own one of course , I think the BF looks just as tuff, if not tuffer with the standard brembos, but I 'feel' the 19" wheels just don't suit it.. that is my view!, but hey there both F6's so I like them both! very much ...

I would vote BA over BF, having now confirmed my thoughts after seeing the BF at the Motorshow.

BF, Black with those 19" is going to look unbeliveably Hot, BA looked more like a GT without a Buldge now the Phoon has it's own look

I agree, the foglights look too finicky for me but overall I like the engineering side of it...Would've been good for them to include all the pre-release stuff however I imagine the BFII will magically have all that.

Just got back from the SydMoSho yesterday, and saw BF

To cut to the chase:

BA F6 - rocks

BF F6 - rocks

To be more verbose, there was absolutely nothing ever wrong with the BA F6. The only reason I don't have one, is that the BF was waay to close to ignore when I came to be "in the market". I've always loved the F6. I don't consider the BA the "old"model, so much as the "original". It's iconic to my mind, as real against-the-grain type car (for an aussie sedan) when it was released. Full respect.

As for the BF, I like the change in style a lot. There have been many comparisons, or rather comments about similarities to HSV styling. From my point of view, FPV's use of mesh really differentiates them from the other mob. The only thing I'm not sure about, are the fog lights. They look ok, but I preferred the BA foggies more.

Having said all that, I'm still yet to see a BF F6, in the style that I'll be ordering. Why they chose Bionic for the demo F6, I don't know. I mean, on an XR, it looks fine (it's all the same colour). BUT! with the contrasting front and rear F6 bar, it looked wrong. It would look great with traditional colours like your greys silvers, blacks, reds, but not bionic. Says me anyway.

As for the 19 "Dark Argent" wheels - Only on Silhouette I reckon. I tried to like them, I really did. However, I've never liked dark wheels (particularly on light colours), and these (though the paint is amazing to see up close) don't do it for me. Maybe my brain is wired that way, but dark wheels just don't unless the car is a similiar dark colour. I'll be sticking with the standard 18 inch wheels, on an HgAg F6. That machined face (so sweet), double spoke design with Dark Argent colour between the spokes really looks good on the move, and shows up nice red calipers and big discs when stationary.

For my money:

HgAg manual BF Typhoon (HgAg with the Dark front and rear bars will be worth killing for!)

Standard 18 inchers

Premium Brembo brakes (6 piston Brembo calipers up front, 4 piston Bembo calipers at rear, as opposed to 4 piston Brembo calipers up front, and single piston "red" PBR calipers at rear).

Leather Seatage

FPV wheel, mats etc

Nearly forgot. The BF F6 comes with an "FPV blue rocket cover" according to my brochure. NOW who says there aren't any real differences from BA! eh? eh?

Wish mine came with rockets! especially for the right hand lane obstructions
