Angry Ford considers axing V8 Falcon

hey, guys just saw this about ford, i don't know if it has been posted yet

"Ford could again drop the V8 engine from the Falcon range in response to environmental concerns, while diesel power will at last be available for Falcon and Territory in 2010.

Will new FG XR8 be the last regular Falcon to be powered by a V8? Ford Australia is not guaranteeing the engine's presence in a future line-up.
Ford could drop the V8 engine for future Falcons.

With sales of Falcon dipping and emissions rules getting tougher, Ford Australia’s recently appointed president Bill Osborne is offering no guarantees a V8 engine is part of the Falcon’s future."
Bruce Newton - Drive.com.au


Mustang 5.0l twin turbo would fit nicely in a XR8 i think, considering the old supercharged 4.6l v8 mustang engine was good for 330kw's stock
