Grab those BFs and Orions gentlemen as it looks like its going to be down hill for the falcon after that.

Ive always loved falcons, all of them, every series, they were getting better in looks, performance and quality every year. IMO

When the BA XR6 Turbo came out I was hooked and had my heart set on buying one as soon as I could.

But when I saw pictures of the new model (2008), It didnt interested me the slighest bit, infact it dissaponited me.

Im scared Ford are going to in the wrong direction with the looks and design of these cars.

Soon the falcons are going to turn into a bloody jap/uro car, and ruine all the hardernd years of history/racing and culture as been a Aussie built performance/mucle car. Also loose alot of fans and buyers.

Like the Expensive Daewoo commondore, it lost alot of its diehard fans just because it looks like a astra.

I wish somehow the new models are stoped from being released cos at the moment Im not looking forward to the the new model and alot of other people I know dont either.

Also what will happen to this site and culture of fans, will it turn into a VL Turbo type of club?( fanatics of this model)

If they are going to stop making the turbo falcon it might be, we are going to loose a big percentage of members, plus the strong modifying scene is goning to stop growing.

Therefore when the new model comes out not many people will buy the falcon to play/modify with (except the V8), they will probly go and buy holdens.

Good one Ford, thanks alot.

I have been expecting this to happen for a while now it was only a matter of time. Lets just hope that the new engine will have plenty of potential for power to be unleashed and that they offer some sort of forced induction on the new motor for the die hard ford fans. It will be a sad day indeed

Don't cry. BMW can get a lazy 225kW, 400Nm from the 3.0l six, so a turbo 3.5l could easily be tuned to get similar if not better numbers than the I6, after all the NA I6 power is still very low by modern standards; most Jap and Euro makes can 190-200kW+ from 3.0-3.5l. New motor won't be as torquey, but it'll rev heaps harder. Maybe this will be further incentive to reduce the size and weight of the Falcon barge. Afterall Mazda has stated weight reduction is high priority going forward. The new Mazda 2 is over 100kg than the old model and expect reductions on the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6. Ford must follow their lead.

DAMN YOU FORD!! YOU MADE BABY JESUS CRY!! hold onto your BAs and BFs boys and girls these cars will be all we got in years to come once ford starts making V6 sh*tboxes!

Clearly there are a few optimistic people here and for our sake I hope they are right. But either way it’s a good way of looking at it
