sadly we don't get the falcon anymore since like the 70's when it was a big old drag racer like the Thunderbolt version and the Mercury version Cyclone.

I highly doubt htey will bring it back but if they did I would definitely consider one.

Ford XR6 Turbo - The best Aussie car ever I reckon :)




p.s

And this is coming from a person that used to a Holden/HSV man! :D

The BA Ford is a very good car, the turbo 6 is very quick with good handling. I used to have a HDT Aero Commodore but now drive a WRX. The Ford gets my respect...

Those should be American cop cars. I love the looks of them too.

I say get rid of Thunderbirds (Ford)/Taurii(Tauruses)/500 and get the Falcons. So pretty

[T-Bird]

well the Ford Thunderbird, Taurus, and upcoming 500 are all very different cars they wouldn't replace them all with a single car that would be as dumb as chevy changing the Impala to FWD and V6. The new Thunderbird although not that great is actually selling decent enough for what it is (a future collector car) it's a 2 seater V8 roadster, The Taurus is a good midsized sedan with many options for different needs it's huge as a Company car. the new 500 is probably going to be placed below the Crown Victoria, it might be a good car once people get a hold of it. but I doubt it will. The Falcon would go right inbetween the Taurus and The Crown Victoria if they did bring it here but I would highly doubt they have any plans to do so. So the Falcon could replace the 500 but since the 500 is all new I doubt they would write that one off so soon so I wouldn't get my hopes up too soon.

[HeilSvenska]

Well I know that Ford won't.

but i'd say if Ford did, Falcon surely will make people forget about Taurus and ... may be the new Thunderbird.

[Schwalbe]

It's simple we need this RWD car here in America. :wink:

Damn, I hate domestic fwd cars.

[fabro_s]

Sadly we dont get that Ford in America it would be great to see a Falcon versus a Corvette, or a Camaro SS or even the new Pontiac GTO

[stracing]

how bout a falcon and commodore? thats as close you would get with falcon vs corvette. there are corvettes here but hardly see them together.

[dingo]

Well the Falcon vs the GTO is as close as you'd get...since the GTO is based on the Monaro.

[ahmedgiyab]

I don't think that it will ever happen....they didn't do it with the Holdens.... :?

[stracing]

GM brought the monaro over to the US. its called the Pontiac GTO now.

[ahmedgiyab]

And what about the Chevy Caprice....?! :roll:

[trza2k]

Those prices mentioned in the article would not make it very well priced against the competition :|

[T-Bird]

we used to have a beastly V8 powered RWD Caprice/Impala until the mid 90's then it just dissapeared and later got turned to the punny FWD V6 Impala it is today

[ahmedgiyab]

There is a Caprice since 1999 in the Gulf....RWD with a 5.7 engine 295-328Bhp.... :wink:

Basically its the same as the Holden in Australia.... :roll:

[rachaderua]

heheh this one seems to be very nice...the design is very modern and simply and sportive at the same time...
here in brazil we used to have the Ford Escord XR3, i don´t know but i guess it didn´t have in the USA...

[possessed_beaver]

think of all the aftermarket modifications you could do to that turbo engine, here in australia alredy we have some psyco XR6 turbo's, even cracking 200mph!

they are very good sedan sized psyco cars, cut price M5's
