Or maybe Holden's new V6 is proving to be decent competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact the Falcon sales are near record levels. (best since '95) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly see heaps of BA falcons around my part of Oz. Indeed I see plenty of Blueprint XRs like mine daily. I try to pay attention to VY and VZ SSs too but I really dont see them as much (admittedly they cost $51,000 so there should be less of em).

What was it in 6 yrs ago? To my knowledge it debuted in 3.2ltr capacity in the Cadillac CTS in 2001-02 and 3.6 didnt arrive until early last year.

(maybe that indicates how many stupid people are out there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
