Read the comparison drive between the GTF and a R8 HSV and the R8 still came out ahead in the Magazine Authors opinion.

VF Redline Sedan - A6 Spitfire MSE...
in a nutshell, for me anyway,

good

Looks ok but the front looks like a pregnant Whaleshark... Bonnet looks similar to VF.

Bad

Once a taxi always a taxi.

Still a very good car, Aussie gold and I would be proud to own it. Thumbs up to Ford for churning this out with a lopsided balance sheet.

Thats not confirmed as the interior right? We are just assuming is is unchanged from the FG?

pretty good for a taxi though , I'm kind of seeing Volvo cues in the front .

It will be changed, while not a major change I think, there will be.
Plus that photo is a MkI not a MkII.

I can't believe I am saying this but the Taurus is a nicer looking car. I hated the first one that came here, with everything that was oval. It was so bad the wheels may has well have been oval as well.

Bonnets fine but the rest of the front end is hideous, based on those pics, inside aint much better IMO

You can see in this photo, the interior is the same as FGII. The only difference is revised ICC button functions to work with Ford Sync and from an earlier spy photo it looks like they've added a line of stitching to the existing door trims. They were never going to refresh the interior for a 2 year run.
