Does Ford Australia Have Any Plans Ford A V6 Engine?

[OzJavelin]

O/T but anyway ..
Unlike Holden and Chrysler, Ford Australia did not really "make it's name" with I6's did it? When people think of great Fords they think V8s .. flatties, Y-block Cussos, GTs .. right up to the current day. They ONLY real exception to this is the XR6T. People remember the underwhelming power of the XP 170 "Pursuit" engines, the huge fuel guzzling capacity 250 cross-flow engines (only exceeded by Commodore 202s of the day!), the regular head gasket blowing capacity of EA-EL Falcons. Having driven (but never owned) a lot of 6-cyl Falcons I can say that personally I'd have a V6 Commodore over any of them anyday. I can put up with the harsh noise etc for the benefits of measurably better acceleration and fuel economy. The BA Falcons I've driven haven't swayed me from this opinion either. They still appear big, fat, lazy engines .. and I've owned some of American's finest fat, lazy engines (440 Mopar, 400Chev, etc). They make 225ci slants seem sporty! I'd much rather the less powerful 5.0 Windsor in my AU and put up with the crappy fuel economy. Now XR6T or Typhoon might be another matter?? I don't particularly care if Ford continue I6 or V6 .. I just don't like they way they build any six cylinder engine ..
