But theyve had the noose around their necks since what...2011? Theyve barely been moving Falcons in the last 3 years.

Why on earth pull this out when the horse has well and truley bolted. I know theyll have a **** load of engines sitting around the Geelong and Broadie plants doing nothing but #### me they could have announced a revised model when the VF came out or the VE S2 with some nice upgrades and perhaps atleast made it look like they were still remotely interested in making some money till they shut down.

FG Mk II was released about the same time as the VE II.

How is 310 close to 430?

It's still impressive but not close to the GTS. Now if they did a turbo 8 I'd be interested. Or even better, a V8 territory turbo.

The XR8 is using the current GT engine which, depending on which magazine you read, puts out just more or just less power at the rear wheels.

I was talking two different cars hence the linked article.

i lol at all these "last falcon ever" comments.


are you guys really that gullible to think ford are never gonna release a 4 door "sports" car ever again?? CLEARLY the aussie market is still hungry for power, and the holden/ford rivlry is still very much alive and kicking.

just cos' theyre not made here doesnt mean theyre not gonna get made.

I agree especially if GM will make the SS then logically Ford will have a competitor for it. There are still going to be many Ford fans here that will want to stick with the brand they love and the big family fun car thats served them well for generations.

It will be the last locally manufactured falcon is the main point Ari.
Meh bring on the pony cars!

What was different about it? Genuine question because when I was looking at FGs I couldnt really see anything that youd rave on about.

The VEII wasnt anything hugely spectacular either, but the interior was revamped, had a slightly revised rear suspension setup, E85 out of the gates. I mean it had enough there to make you think about upgrading.

My main point is, had they have done this 3 years ago, they may not have been counting down the days so to speak and I wish they had of done this years ago because it certainly wouldve made me think a lot harder at buying a Falcon.

Was always going to happen.
Mk II added new front end, projector headlights, revised interior with 7" touch screen, etc

I think it's a shame for this new falcon they didn't try a come up with something to compete against the sportswagon
