We DO have an "interesting" array of engines available in the Falcon. Really can't fault FA for EFFORT in that regard.
(I am disappointed & surprised that they chose such a POS diesel for the Terri, didn't offer diesel in the Falcon, and puzzled that they didn't offer LPI or EB in the Terri, but that's another story.) Considering the low volume of sales, it is a wonder they can still manage to offer such a choice. I've long said that the LPI is a brilliant engine. Yet I've never seen it advertised and my understanding is that it accounts for only around 10% of sales. (If they'd offered it in a Terri, I'd be all over it.) I personally didn't rate the EB4, but again the advertising has been either missing or pointless. It's funny, that for all the talk about people not wanting fuel-guzzling 6's, the turbo accounts for around 25% of sales (not including the F6.) Maybe that just reflects that enthusiasts like the turbo, whilst mainstream buyer have abandoned the basic I6 in favour of juice boxes? But if that is really the problem, you'd think that Ford advertised would have hammered the cost benefits of the LPI and EB4. My bro has a G6E. He picked up a low km ex Ford demo for a song. Lovely car. (If only I could convince her indoors.) |
