Ford finally drops Falcon from it's website, but Territory is still up

[MrZ]

I was wondering when Ford would finally get around to doing this - the Falcon (and Falcon ute) are now officially gone from the Ford website, but the Territory is still listed: www.ford.com.au

Ford now list the "Fiesta ST", "Focus ST", and "Focus RS" (why is the picture so tiny?) all as separate models, to make it look like they sell more models than they actually do.

You could still buy a new Falcon up until just recently. New Territory's still available.
Obviously 2016 builds.
A Technicality...

The difference globally is about double too for Mustang.

Yeap I'm sure Dealers would have stock piled what they could. If it's on the website, I'm sure you can get one at the dealers or else the ACCC would be down on Ford like a tonne of bricks

Was at a dealer the other day and he still had 3 new FG-X Falcons for sale and a XR8 Sprint!

I had a look at their website last night and Falcon sedan & ute is still showing.

Click "explore all vehicles" and the Falcon will come up.

I do note though that when you go to explore falcon specifically it does put it in the "history vehicles" category. Its like they want to keep it hanging on there.

New or ex-demo, they would have clocked up KMS by now just by being moved around on the lot for a clean.

Which dealer and what colour is the Sprint

[roddy1960]

G'day...A local friend of ours , a self confessed Ford car nut with a BF XR6T but now wants to start looking for a V8 too.He decided to book a test drive of Mustang while in Hobart a few weeks ago. The other day he drove a mate's XR8 , not the Sprint either and actually preferred it to Mustang.. Now he's torn whether to spend extra coin for Mustang or to try and find a really low kms XR8 somewhere. Rarer than trying to find a Trump comment where he doesn't mention 'fake news' ..That rare. Cheers Rod..

Yeah like all big businesses I'm sure Ford would be real concerned about the ACCC lol.

All you guys with models under 7 years old would be wise to stock up on all the parts that wear prematurely or that have proven not up to the task. It is so frustrating chasing parts for cars that are not that old but speaking to dealers make you feel your driving a model T.

Apparently, listing cars that you don't actually have in stock isn't really an issue with the ACCC, since Proton list models on their website that haven't been available in Australia for nearly 2 years now.

People that buy an ST or an RS don't want to look at all of the stuff regarding other versions.

Your comment about " to make it look like they sell more models " is a but rich

I think they stock piled more Territory then Falcon at the end, as per why they still have a few Territorys left.

Its amazing how people have lost interest in Territory now that its gone (my dealer has a number sitting on the lot just wasting away).

Depends on what they are asking. most have prices 10 grand or more higher than what I paid for My Titanium 2 years ago.

[davocol]

The fact they still have Territory and Falcon sitting on lots at close to rrp pretty much sums up Ford Aus for me in the past few years. Crazy stuff.

[MrZ]

Well, over a *year* after Territory production ended, it has finally been removed from the Ford Australia website (it was removed from the Ford NZ website a while back).

Incidentally, the Caprice has also been removed from the Holden website, leaving only the Commodore and Ute still listed.

[Trendseeker]

Yes, now it appears in the history pages. All the descriptions are past tense.

There are still demos on carsales.
