Very cool ride. Personally, I think they should turbo the V8.

While the power levels are OK, I can only imagine what that 38 thou would grow to by the time it was shipped over here. And, it's too heavy. And, it's too effeminate. And, I get claustrophobia just looking at the interior.

I say Bah.

I had the same thought about the cost. They compare the Falcon to a Taurus! A Taurus is half the price!

That's a shame too.......I remember the days of the original Falcon.....(which the mustang platform sort of evolved from) and it wasn't an "expensive" car....for the 60's

Yep, I'd drive that or an XR8

Because ford and GM say so.

I would like the turbo six in my mav :)

Dang thats almost as boring to look at as the GTO. They can do a nice drivetrain down under, but they need some new designers for the outsides.

It's the body of a Contour and the ass of a Focus. At least, that's what it looks like to me.

Keep in mind, this is what they get instead of a taurus. A real car, defined as one with various I6 and V8 powerplants driving the rear wheels.

I don't think anyone in their right mind wouldn't prefer any of the aussie falcon line up over the taurus. In fact, ford found this out when they tried to sell the taurus down under.

They also have a 5.4 Boss V8 that has more power than the blown
