You see what i see the ford falcon xr6 turbo is a clear muscle machine, power + torque of this car is awesome.. lack that Australian cars have is that because of the competent of ford and holden.. they try to design new facilities in the interior mode and exterior panel modes.. too have a higher selling spree. if ford or holden really want to make there cars the ultimate performance car.. need to get lightened a.s.a.p. the turbos of an xr6 is awesome turbo.. its just that the cars to heavy. you get ur wrx’s at 206k.w 4 cylinder less torque running a quicker quarter mile than Australian cars.. why???? because of the weight ratio… needs to get dropped down

Well people enjoy the new Ford Falcon. It will be the last one.If Ford/GMh want to stay in Australia long term they should be already working on a locally produced smaller more fuel efficent family car both petrol and diesel. No one can tell me in this day and age you cannot get all the performance you want from a 2 ltr. 4 cyclinder motor and those who want more bring out a turbo model.Petrol/diesel options and in time electric.Only a matter of time as oil demand outstrips supply.Those car manufacturers who are planning for the future will prosper. GMH/Ford are showing no real signs that they are doing this. Yes I object to vast amounts of taxpaypers money supporting any industry
that is out of touch with customer demands and current/future technology.Put the money in industries that have a future.I cannot see car manufacturing in Australia both for local and export ever making it. Globalisation is a fact of life and Austrlia must put its money into areas where we can compete on the world stage. Cars is not one of them.

205KW and 395Newton meters of torque is just way ahead of all the others. I knew Ford will bring out a car that will humiliate all the others. And thats only your base Falcon. Kill em all ford.

Jazza,
for the price of the territory and how much better it is styled than the falcon wagon, you would be nuts not to choose the territory if wagons are you thing

I bought my 2003 BA FALCON XR 6 from the factory brand new and I never had any problems with it. Regular servicing, averaging 12.9 litres per 100km and with only 55,ooo on it I can easily get another 150,000 on it before problems start. Buy a Ford everybody cause they go much longer and faster than all the rest. 2008 Orion I cant wait till its out. Its gonna humiliate all the others.

Handsome, just not beautiful. However, it’s a nice update and keeps the Falcon fresh into the 2010s.
