They dont have 400CID V8's anymore, but they went front wheel drive in 1967 with a 427 V8 and had a 368 CID V8 up until 1985.

Anyway, thats off topic and completely irrelevant here anyway.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that an AWD Falcon will be based on a FWD Taurus with a transversely mounted engine limited to sending only a small fraction of power to the rear wheels?? Hello understeer, goodbye V8's.

Where is this currently unavailable high performance AWD platform supposedly going to come from, and what other vehicles is it gong to underpin?

Anyone who thinks an AWD Falcon is good news from a perfomance perspective is dreaming.
