People don't buy Falcon because it's a Falcon, not what engine is under the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus on the power and torque it's delivering along with a fair weight saving.It's the same short-sighted thinking that the devoted V8 fans have against a turbo 6. T6 > 8 yeah? Therefore T4 > 6? If you're an enthusiast then it's not something that'll float your boat, but for the other 98% of the population it's certainly a viable option.

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 2m Gender: Male Posted 21/04/12 07:03 AM Share Posted 21/04/12 07:03 AM Don't think so Tab as Ford struggle to sell the Falcon, my brother inlaw works for them and I'm the only 1 who has taken the Ford discount. My dad, commodore, mum Mercedes, brother Holden, 1 sister a Audi other sister VW. He has offered the discount to other family members and no one has taken it. All have the same answer...... It's a falcon! I love them as does everyone on here, but like I said people don't buy it as its a Falcon not what engine is under the bonnet. 22% off RRP and I'm the only one who used it.

I bet Ford feel silly for spending countless millions on this exercise when all they had to do was to call Pazzo to be enlightened!Doing the same thing is seeing sales dwindle so why wouldn't they try something else?

Only thing that will happen is, if Ford sell 1000 Falcons in 6cyl form, maybe 200 out of that 1000 will buy the ecoboost.Why would someone who does not like or want a Ford turn around and buy a 4 cyl Ford? So all Ford are going to do is lose sales from the 6 to the 4 in my honest opinion.Tab your just one of those one eyed Ford fans by the looks of it.Explain why you think they will sell? then 1 in a year time we will see. like the Territory, they selling as many as they did when they first came out? Don't think so.2011 toatal Falcon sales----- 187412011 total commodores-------406172011total mazda3-------41429you do the sums Edited 21/04/12 08:51 AM by PAZZOnegger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
