OK, what would be your pick for a last 6 cylinder Aussie wagon purchase?
In the blue corner, we have the 2010 BFIII Falcon wagon. It has the unbustable, simple 4.0I6 and a trusty 4 speed auto. It has a long, wide load area and pretty good vision out. One model in this series, as Ford saved on marketing by offering, well, one model aimed at fleets. Petrol or LPG. If only there had been an FG wagon... In the red corner, we have the last Sportwagons, right up to 2017. Much newer and more expensive at present, although you could save and buy a 2010 model if you really wanted to. Fitted with Holden's slightly infamous alloy V6's, in 3.0 or 3.6L sizes. Some of them are E85. Some say down on torque, others say the Holden V6's have some kick when pushed. Holden marketed their range in Omega/Evoke, SV6, Berlina or Calais - so a full range of trims and price points. Holden also did some great V8's in their wagons, but for the sake of this question, it's about the 6's. Loadspace was less as of the styling, wheelbase was not LWB but rather shared the sedan's dimensions. There will be no more Aussie wagons - so what was the best of the recent Aussie 6 wagons?
