Again, don't know about FG but fit in mine fine. However, features like this I would not be against.

Agree. Atleast make a Bose audio system or similar an option for those that what g/q sound, but don't really want aftermarket equipment.

I think a visual difference would not go astray. Why do people purchase an XR6 over a Futura/G6? I doubt for the majority it is only due to slightly stiffer suspension. I think it's because the XR6 has the bodykit, the wheels, the presence.
Having a visually represented difference between n/a and T I think would be a good thing, but only a few details, not an entire new bodykit design.
And I think some people would buy a car to be noticed. Why do some people buy an HSV, when they could get an SSv, which could be optioned up and modified to be better for the same price. Granted not everyone is that vain.

As for the opening question. I think the only thing needed to differentiate the XRT is a different front air dam design. Something like the F6, but different. Also small 'Turbo' badges on the side skirt or below the side blinker on the side strip like some people have added (on B-Series atleast). A different wheel design might be on the cards to, that aren't available on an XR6 n/a or XR8. Also bonnet vents, but small and subtle like that M3.


A moon roof would be a great addition to the whole range, or atleast G6E and XR up. However I don't see this happening any time soon.
Also a touchscreen ICC w/GPS, etc, would be a great addition to all the upper spec cars as an option, like the moon roof.
