Should Turbo Be Offered On Other Falcon Models?

[Falchoon]

What do you think about turbos being offered on other Falcon models, should it be exclusive for XRs?

What about Territory, should it have one?

Does it make the turbo "cheap" if other models have it?

[Trumpy]

I voted no to other Falcons having a turbo.

I think that the way the motor is it suits a driver wanting the sports car feel. To install it in a fairmont or xt they would need to quiet down the exhaust etc which would dull the experience.

The engine upgrade in those vehicles is already available (220barra), so there really is no need for the T motor to be used.

Territory on the other hand, I think it is going to need a turbo version to compete with the Adventra, seeing that a V8 version is (apparently)technically impossible.

I don't think so. It makes the XR unique. If you make it available on other models, the XR will just be another car.

I would love to see ford bring out an XRT wagon. with a full XR body kit and that level of performance it would be one sweet ride

[Guest Raslin]

I voted no. It should be a specific to the XR model only, that way you are in a certain category without everyone owning a turbo. Re-sale would also suffer and so would the sales in my opinion.

The XR6 has generally had more power than the standard Falcon 6. It has also been a better performer than the 8 at times too.

The XR6T fills this niche nicely.

IMHO Ford could really use a high ride, AWD, high performance vehicle ....

stay tuned for the Territory 6T

I agree with this.

Compare to VL Late model camira Turbo, pretty sure it was available in Calais and base model form.

Good god no.

Only if there was a wagon variation.........Just maybe........

Nah. Thought about it a second longer and definatly not. This car is and forever should be a cult car. "Unique" is the key word and all that now own them are also unique.

Got to keep it that way I reckon.
