We were looking at both the XR6T and the G6E Turbo, but the G6E was just a little to soft. I had an '04 BA XR6T 5 speed manual previously and this new car is just awesome. The BA was good going fast but as a daily driver it used to drive me nuts. However the new car goes even better when pushed hard, and it is a thousand times better when you just want to take it easy. Hopefully I can upload some photos, apologies if it does not work. Still waiting on window tint which should happen next week. All the gadgets with this new car are great, iPod works well as does the Bluetooth phone intergration. The ride on the 19's is firm but not harsh. The auto gearbox is magic, and the more I drive the car the better I am understanding how to drive with it compared to the manual. It will hold gears and the noise the engine makes when the engine cut out happens on gear changes during hard acceleration is fantastic. Still getting used to the brakes, they seem adequate and better than the BA, but I think they require more pressure than the previous model.All in all, one happy camper.

I have come out of a 2005 Territory so you can understand why. Before that I had many years in V8's, Club Sport, Statesman but now this is a great alternative. I purchased the car with the GRE wheels which I think look great, it's ego in colour and has tinted windows. Looks and goes great. SteveO
