I personally think that would be a great car! What's everyone elses opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can barely sell enough falcons with all fleet sales and family buyers so I can't imagine a coupe doing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 03/02/09 10:46 PM Share Posted 03/02/09 10:46 PM Why make a coupe ?Ford are losing money hand over fist and making a large coupe would not suite the masses.The R&D that goes into making a Coupe would never result in a profit that Ford needs.Look at the Monaro, it was dropped after a few years as they never sold enough to make money.If you want a 2 door Falcon, buy a ute.

Would love to see an XCcoupe with a typhoon motor in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of a two door family car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
