( they don't fit me for family use but have always dreamt of owning a new falcon )

[poppa smurf]

shame they didnt come out and buy Ford before it came to this.........another industry down the tube through non support, but mention making money from them and out they come!

I've already mentioned on another thread that I will be buying a new GT prior to Oct 2016. It's not about making money it's about taking my last chance to secure it before I lose the chance. Honestly i think it will take 30+ years for any chance of financial benefit. Probably never. I feel i have already supported Ford by buying the GS new in 2010...

Some of us remember the old "V8's till 98" campaign and how successful that was. Is it to late for something like a "Ford till 2044" campaign to stick it up the powers that be.

It's like we have to try something. Anything.

As long as the plant is open there is hope. I know back in 2011, GM reopened a plant that had been shut for 2 years!

I would love to see the plant to even turn into a global niche role like building taxis or ambulances for the world.

I too will be ready for a new Falcon/FPV in 2016, ideally one of the last, and I'm also hoping it will be still available at that time.

Its such a shame the majority of our import-loving nation have no idea how good these cars really are.

[au2000]

for me the plan was to buy in 2017/18 when my son takes over my xr6, ive never been in a position to buy a new car & that was when i was hoping to do so, so now im gonna start working towards moving that plan forward 2 yrs & grab a gt as its been the halo car for me with the one day ill have one dream... well now its a bit of a nightmare & ill have to get it now or never
it will spend its first 2 yrs not doing much but will be a daily after that..
this "falcon buyers come out of the wood work" was always gonna happen & in 2016 you'll find that once holden confirms the commodore set up which is currently said to be a mid sized front wheel drive the holden boys will do the same as us, in fact i know a few that are already holding off on the ss until 2016 for the same reason.

[Bearman]

I've never been in a position to buy a newie. The closest I came was buying my old BA XR6 as a 12 month old exec car in 2004. Planning to replace my daily in 12 to 18 months time, hopefully with a new Falcon.

[pearlhead]

Reading this article just gave me a ping of hope. Never seen such dedication towards a particular brand. Makes me feel happy.

[mick457]

ive just got a 13g loan for the ba to keep her going strong
im gonna try my best in the next 2 years to smash that out so I can buy a gt
which will be my frist new car and my 1st v8

I would love to see a limited edition run with the most popular colors from the entire history of the falcon. I know maybe its wishful thinking, but imagine of ford said if you order a new falcon from the last batch, you can have any color you want from the last 90 odd years. That would be cool.

I hope to be in a position to buy a brand new GT in 2016.

GTE in Bordeaux with the Red Leather seats. Drooooooooooool.

[b0son]

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much over RRP the very last GT off the line will go for? Surely Ford would have to do something special to commemorate the end of an era...

At the age of 47yrs i bought my very first new car a XR50T, i feel so lucky and privilaged to own such a special car considering the recent news, would love a GT but probably out of reach so maybe a nice clean GS will do. At least for us Falcon fans Ford has given us three years to make a decission. I hope you get YOUR new Falcon.

I cannot wait for the 2014 facelift, I will buy then. Hopefully we get keyless start, there's not much else u need to add to these cars.

I thought they said any plans to change the cars have been canned.

Would love XC (?) colours Spruce (dark green) and Wedgewood Blue to become available again. Thunderbird colours IIRC - FTW.

After seeing the bottle O Falcon at Bathurst last year, Zircon green or Reef green on a GT would look awsome.

So happy to burst your bubble here.
The F6 AND the V8 is geelong made and that's a fact!

Yeah, everyone loves the XY GS 250 2V over that heap of junk GTHO that used an imported engine

The V8 is assembled in the same plant as the 6 now, even though it uses an imported block and heads it still uses a lot of unique local parts. Ford do not use a supercharged version of the Coyote anywhere else.

Miami is the Australian version of coyote V8 where as coyote is USA V8. while its an American based motor it does have some Australian content in it and is assembled in Australia. GT will be collectable as will be F6 but the one I see most collectable will be the GT-R spec. fastest falcon from the factory and in limited release of only 350. I can see its value soaring in about 30 years time. time will tell

I guess anyone who brought a GTHO for six figures must be kicking themselves knowing that now

[joshy]

Im hoping to buy a brand new Falcon before its all over. I have never owned a brand new car and I will defiantly be buying one of the last GTs or a limited edition model before 2016. I currently own a XD,XE,XF, EF, and a laser and the EF is the newest cars I have ever owned. so yeah the latest last models would be nice in the garage.

[JG34JA]

Love to see Galaxy blue as per the AU XR6 VCT press releases - what a colour!

I suspect that what we’re seeing now is simply a kneejerk surge in interest. It will disappear once people understand that there are still three years to go.
The problem in leaving it to 2016, will be the timing. I doubt Ford will run EVERYTHING at full whack until the last second. They will be cutting costs wherever they can. Who knows, maybe the Falcon will stop production before the Territory?
Or worse, they shut the engine plant, and so once stocks are gone the last Falcons that roll off the line all come with ecoboost, wouldn’t that be a ****er.

In all seriousness, if you want your last Falcon to be a Ute, or an XR6T, I’d be keeping an ear to the ground.

Yeap thats my goal. The true Australian performance car, get the manual!

If the 'stang comes then there's always going to be a V8. Id rather have a F6 to blow it into the weeds.

The biggest dealership in Australia for sales of Ford Falcon GTs, Bryan Byrt, in the Brisbane suburb Upper Mount Gravatt, has also seen a spike in buyer enquiries.
"I've already taken two calls this morning from customers saying `sign me up for the next limited edition'," said sales manager Ben Ruxton.

That was what the guy who was in aussie top gear and gives car advice on 3aw said the last FPV GT will be the one to buy he said something like 250 to 270 will only be made.

[Vekgib]

I've never been in a position to buy a new car either.But, as I turn 50 in 2016, I see nothing wrong with maybe breaking my duck then.Maybe a sedan and I'll keep the BF ute.
