Default falcon wagon?

so when is the wagon coming back in the current shape of the time? (not BF MKIII when FG are being made for example)

also will they do it like holden did as in they got an ss wagon, why cant we have an xr6 turbo wagon? if they made it with a 3rd row seating option, i'd buy it in a heart beat lol

also what about an FPV option? now that would be nice, something like FTG built, that tsunami was it, what happened to that anyway? owner on these forums?

Because we had XR wagons back in the EF days, and they were not all that successful.

The costs in developing another model would be too high, and I doubt Ford would get their money back. With Falcon sales at an all-time low, I don't think it is the right time to spend unnecessarily.

If Falcon is struggling to sell the sedan, how the hell are they going to sell the wagon, given that they've got the new Territory now, which is their family-model...

Ford could not even justify maintaining the workhorse that was the BFIII wagon.

I'm still waiting for my dual cab crewman Fairlane with AWD and V6 diesel....

It's a shame Ford doesn't listen to me and build what I want....
Surely, there's another three people out there that would buy it....
