Falcon protest at Ford HQ

[CQB-241]

My first Falcon and first V8 was an XRGT. My last opportunity for a new one is the FGX XR8 and I can't wait. While we can argue about the best we can't argue about the first and last of a line (and yes, before the pedants attack, I know the Aussie XR was preceded by 4 other Falcon models and the GT by other '66-'67 XR V8s and the unofficial '65 Warner V8s). IMO the last will probably be the best though probably not the most charismatic of the noble line.

The FGX XR8 is being done for the enthusiasts and the best performing Falcon dealers. That some dealers are taking the **** is unfortunate but that isn't RRP from FoA. Am I unhappy that Ford is stopping production here....yes! Am I disappointed in missed opportunities...yes! Am I grateful the last of the line looks to be a cracking old school Aussie muscle car...yes! I'm not going to protest the unchangeable or celebrate the unfortunate. I will however give the last V8 a good workout just like I did the first and THIS time not let her slip away.....
