Default Some Ford Concept Cars I would love to see.

Holden always seem to be coming up with new concept cars, so I thought I would give Ford a list of cars that I would love to see as a concept at a future car show. I have tried to cater for a cross section of people. Please add your comments or additional ideas.

Falcon GT HO - In this day and age it would have to be a AWD V8 Turbo. The AWD would be the HO (Handling Option) and the Turbo to more than compensate for the extra weight.

2 Door Falcon Coupe - Either modern or a retro version of the XA/B/C

Convertable Falcon - Why do we have to look to Europe for a convertable these days. We have the perfect climate for one here.

Convertable Fairlane - Dammit, why not go bigger. There are no big convertables on the market. The Fairlane would have to be 2 Doors though, but with the longer wheelbase would look awesome, and have no problems in taking up room when the roof folds down.

V8 Territory - I know they are looking at a Turbo version but hey, give it a Bonnet Bulge. It would look like one mean mother with that.

Territory Ute - Well why not. It is selling well so why not expand the range.

Well this is just a start with existing models..

I can't see a GTHO AWD.
I'd like to see the two door return. Have coupes available in XT, Fairmont and GT not Ghia or GT-P. Also a Faitlane coupe

Id go the GTHO, but not with AWD (I cant stand AWD). I think 450kw would be a great start.

A convertible maybe, but they would have to release a sporty 2 door for this to happen...based of the falcon range would just look silly.

I'd also love the return of a 2 door falcon - but dodge the retro look - though some links to the XA/XB would be good...

Heh, you suggested a V8 Territory.

At Indy last year, while cruising around the Ford merchandise paddock, I came across a CAPA display area. They had a supercharged XR8 ute, supercharged Crewman and a Territory. Black, looked real swish.

Upon closer inspection, under the bonnet sat a Boss 260 V8, SUPERCHARGED. :sm_drool: : :

I had a chat with them and they basically said that they needed two cars to do the job, an XR8, and a Territory.

They did an article on the "Terror-Tory" in a mag somewhere.

You beat me to it, I was going to write the same thing! Come on Ford, take a lesson from Nike and "just do it"

EDIT: Just thought about it, and realised I left out the most important detail. If this was to be done, MAKE SURE IT'S NOT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!
