Well I've had both utes - AUII XR8, BA XR8 with mods (headers (I'm in NZ), full exhaust, cold air, big mouth pod filter, enhanced brakes) and now have BF Tornado. The Turbo is so much better - its a lot more refined. As someone said elsewhere on this thread it is a bit of a speed/ticket trap - they are so quick and so quiet that you often don't realise how quick you are travelling.
If you want presence - XR8 - they do sound very nice and the bulge on the bonnet makes them look more agressive.
If you want the fastest/best handling/best of the two - go with the XR6 Turbo. And while fuel economy isn't something I worry about the F6 us around 2l/100km better than the XR8 was.
As others have said - its for you so drive both and decide what you like/want.
