Not to fond of the black things going from the headlight to the fog lights, otherwise its a slick looking car, wish we got the good stuff here.
What do ya think it would cost to have one of those shipped here, and do they come in triple black?

And the V8 option comes with lots of other crappola (aforemention 6-speed, LSD, upscale trim, 18" wheels, better brakes, suspension, tires, aero package etc.)
All in all it costs about 11k over a "taxi" model. (in perspective about 30% of the base model price)
At the moment we have the 3V 5.4 V8 as an option (and it doesn't require the other stuff) - and it is only like 1.5k over the base 6.
To be honest though - the turbo 6 eats the V8 for lunch (look at the torque figures, and then take into account that torque runs from 2k-4.5k and you will understand why)

id take the six with a turbo over the eight, imo.......kinda looks like the GTO, whata surprise, that they dont sell it here in the US, besides we get all of the best available options in the US right??....
