2008 Ford Falcon FG series gallery

February 17, 2008 by Alborz Fallah  




The new 2008 Falcon FG series represents an exciting and relevant move away from the traditional Falcon as we know it with the right blend of power, fuel efficiency and style for the modern family. Redirecting Ford’s styling cues in to a more ‘family’ appearance (Kinetic design) has been our major aim since the release of the BA Falcon and Territory series in 2004.

2008 Falcon FG series

We do not want to lose the pride and tradition of Falcon, rather focus more keenly on the technology available to produce a more relevant and safe car for the needs of tomorrow. Our buyers expect everything from a car, without compromise. A car that is powerful, efficient and works with their lifestyle which whilst innovative, is still an enjoyable driving experience. A car the will reassert itself in our family life.

Dynamic Stability Control is now standard on all petrol variants, as are side airbags. Curtain airbags and reversing cameras are optional on lower series but standard on higher series. TCS, ABS, EBA, EBD are all standard, as is the HMI (Human Machine Interface) System, as seen on Mondeo.

2008 Falcon FG series

There are three distinct branches to the Ford family line-up. Entry, Luxury Sports and Performance Sports.

The Falcon XT name will remain, though Futura will be replaced by the G6 model, which will now feature spec levels equal to that of the Fairmont. The old Fairmont will be replaced by the G6E (the E stands for European Styling Cues) and the Fairmont Ghia will be replaced by the G6E Turbo, and will feature the ZF auto as standard.

The XR series vehicles will remain with the XR6, XR6 Turbo and XR8 stayed in the same line-up as previously seen.

The ute line up has changed slightly. The XL has gone, simply to be replaced by the ‘Falcon’ ute. The XLS will be replaced with the R6 which aims to blend workhorse and recreation in the same models, whilst the XR line-up remains unchanged.

    Omega Ute- $30,990

  2. Duck says:

    Omega Sedan-$36,790

  3. Duck says:

    A bit behind some of its rivals for price.

    Aurion-$34,990 to
    Omega (sedan)-36,790

    But Omega now jumps from 2 airbags to 6, air con standard and alloy wheels standard. Though the better thing over the Aurion that the commodore is better is that the commodore has a RWD platform not a FWD pltform.

  4. Duck says:

    I heard wagon price is probaly $2000 over omega sedan. So omega wagon probaly will start from $38,790 for omega wagon (V8 may be optional in Omega).

  5. Cobra 302 says:

    The new falcon is agreat looking car. Remeber the current falcon only handles a little worse and goes a little slower right now. The new falcon has an all aloy front end suspension set up an mono tubed shocks! Cant wait to see 1/4 mile times and the full story on the for falcons and the whole fpv GT series and F6 series! Go ford. Great start to the V8 Supercar championship.

  6. F@ GTHO says:

    Wots the different between a 40 year old wife and a commodore
    The commodore still sucks

  7. Oz. says:

    F@ GTHO,

  8. Duck says:

    So funny arent you F@ GTHO,

    Well whats the difference between a gay 20 year old and a falcon?

  9. Duck says:

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Nothing………..there both gay!
    See i can play your silly game too!

  10. mitchell says:

    I think the exterior is quite good looking, but the interior looks cheap and nasty and just bad. for this car to be the whole they need to work on the design of the interior ( at least rethink the position of the airvents)

  11. Fords Suck!!! says:

  12. GhisGT says:

    CarAdvice admins, are you really going to sit back and watch your site go down the toilet thanks to some 12 year olds that think mis-spelling words is cool?

    Havent you got some toy cars to play with.

  17. Golfschwein says:

    It’s school holidays for sure.

  18. ford 4 lyf says:

  19. Duck says:

    Golfschwein, I agree there is too much 12 year olds having little tamptrums and bickering at one another.

  20. Bavarian Missile says:

    Anyone reported this kid?

  21. joober says:

    This forum is a joke.

  22. GhisGT says:

    Yeah, it’s a shame. Could be a decent car website if it wasnt for this shocking commenting system.

    Oh, and Ford 4 lyf, we wouldn’t expect you to know what a good car is, hell, you can’t even spell life you 12…no, 10 year old reject.

    I’d give you directions to my house so you could come and kick my head in with your ‘homies’, but you wouldn’t be able to read the street signs. Sucks to be you :(

  23. Golfschwein says:

    ^^^ Que? Someone with a dual personality? Stuff’s not making sense. But then, I do set my expectations high.

  24. GhisGT says:

    Got home from school did you? How was daddy’s Falcon? Did he give it a boot full for you; did it scare you a little?

    Poor child. But I must be honest, I really can’t wait for the time you get your P-plates and wrap your self around the nearest telegraph pole in aforementioned daddy’s Falcon. I just hope you don’t kill anybody else.

  25. Golfschwein says:

    If you have anger management and gay identity issues, I can refer you to someone in your state, confidentially of course. I work in the field.

  26. Golfschwein says:

    I meant Ford man, not you GhisGT.

  27. Golfschwein says:

    Not silly at all, Ford Man. Yours is a common behavioural and language thread for people with the issues I mentioned. Like I say, I can point you in the right direction, but you have to be ready to go there.

  28. Golfschwein says:

    No. Should I be?

  29. GhisGT says:

    Calling someone gay over the internet…geeze, playgroup boring is it child?
