Looks like a good deal for anyone who was after a Falcon but didn't want the sporty looks of the XR6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how well the gas Falcon is selling? I think if they can't sell the gas falcon they will struggle to sell the ecoboost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company has become a bloody joke. I bought a million dollars worth of FPVs Falcons and Focus's for my company between 2005 and 2009 and now the only new Ford I will ever drive is from AVIS, I can't be bothered with them as a company. I rented a series 2 FG XR6 a month ago in Vic and drove it from Melbourne to Bright. It was nice on the road, effortless to drive, but it had a cheap el plastico feel about it, like everything would break at any moment. As for the 4cyl, too little, too late me thinks.

Yes it's smaller than the Falcon but it is bloody roomy for its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qld people get rego cheaper the less and less cylinders the car has. Let's go with that. Only one state. But let's go with a 4cyl just to suit them."You should ask yourself...remind me when the world started to revolve around qld?I doubt ecolpi are selling well due to rising gas prices. Last the old man heard from managers, sales weren't the best..I can see the eco boost working out better than most think. People just don't like the old falcon with usually a 6cyl and nowadays a turbo. Down to a wee little 4cyl. Don't judge a book by its cover take one for a drive then give it a belting if you don't like it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
