just saw on the news that ford has scrapped the aussie built focus and has started to look at bringing out a 4cyl falcon, i lol'd hard.
if they do i feel the end of ford is near
Chev badges are an instant fail
commos came out in 4's and there still around...... i cant wait to see a cannoned 4cyl falcon.
OMG i hope its FWD!!!!! OMG that would be awesome!
supposed to be around the 170kw mark, ecoboost 4cyl.
I don't think it would go down to well, look at the VC's i think it was the 4 bangers, cost more to run than the bloody 6's smaller engine working harder to move the car, the 6 would cruise along easy, but the 4 would be revving out a fair bit more, Chewing through more and more petrol.
Doesn't make sense in my opinion, but i guess they can try it if it doesn't work out they can scrap it like holden did with the old 4 banger commodores.
If it was same sorta setup as a Hybrid Toyota it would be something that people would be more interested in i reckon
Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, now that's what gets you...
I dare say the 4 cyclinder engine has come a long way since 1980 when the VC was released.
I think it will sell well, especially being a family sized car, good fuel economy.
I wouldn't put anything past Ford. They are doing well in the power department against Holden with inline 6's combined with F/I.
They haven't even started using "V" engines yet. I'd say their 4 banger won't be anything to sniff at. Good on them i say.

I agree, it will be an interesting new car to say the least. Power and driveability wise i believe it will be a nice car to drive. Ford aren't exactly a failure in terms of quality cars.
