Default Re: Last EVER Falcon Picture & Discussion Thread

Ford have some what backed themselves into a corner with the V8 based on the decisions they have gone with in recent years. In my opinion binning the XR8 in 2010 was a bad decision and then canning the GT is another clanger. The whole reason for killing the GT was the added expense of body kits and making the FPV special but they cant expect customers to the stump up north of $55k for a "Premium" model when its not that. It will be a XR spec which is essentially rental car spec. The only way they can charge $50k+ for me is them delivering 2 V8 models like Holden. $45k for an XR8, $55k for XR8+ (GT spec or so). If Ford want to compete with HSV then they should not have closed FPV. Not delivering a sub $50k V8 option will be another mistake in my opinion.
