I agree the F6 has been over priced...but people have short memories. The F6 saved FPV's backside while the 5.4 was around.
Yes the 5.4 sold ok, but since they are building performance cars it was the F6 and not the GT that actually keep FPV from being completely stuffed in the media. I think its a good thing that the F6 has come down in price, making it the "entry" into high performance Falcons. It also rightly gives the perspective that the V8 is aspirational and an upgrade (regardless of straight line figures). FPV have done SFA to the F6 in reality, so it deserves some respect and it is a car that has brought many people (including the XR6T) to the Ford brand. If FPV's sales are up then thats great, they need them to be to get some of that $40m back, and if they want to skew or alter the sales so that it looks like the V8 is selling more then whatever. Keeping in mind I hope FG2 brings the real results they deserve, because regardless of how good that V8 is HSV offer better value from a package perspective.
