I wonder if those are the HIDs slated for "late delivery" on the guide.

Wow, that looks better than the GT imo. Fogs should be down low. Come on aftermarket, here's my cash. Hook me up!

That's really strange. Although the V6 looks pretty "happy", it's really nice looking in it's own way.

I'm glad they have finally stopped making the V6 look like an afterthought to the GT. Ever since 94, it has always seemed like they have designed the GT first and then just stripped some bits off and put smaller wheels on it to make the base model rather than the opposite, where the V6 is a nice clean starting point for the more aggressive GT to add to.

I remember TN saying there would be two different types of headlamps.....one being more modern than the other

haha, so does this mean there will now be a trend for v8 owners looking for v6 grill/bumper/lights for a v6 frontal conversion?

personally, i still like the four eyed look the v8 has, projectors or not. especially at night.

Nah, to me the V6 has a big smile on it, dimples and all. The GT looks like it means business.

I like the way the grille surround is painted body color on the V6. Should be easy to do on the GT.

if the grille is painted body color it would look better on the gt BUT... the lower portion of the v6 bumper is still much nicer looking... i think this is the first time ever GT owners might swap bumpers with v6's lol

I like the GT light better. The V6 headlights have it backwards...the headlight should be toward the outside and the marker/turn signals should be inboard. The way the GT has it is the way it should be and gives the car a wider look.

I agree. But I may be weird too because I prefer the standard '08 and '09 headlights to the HID versions simply because the car looks more true to its retro roots without the HIDs messing up the look of the headlight lenses.
