I think Ute just made it into 3rd place, so don't look out for too many spec levels from what I'm hearing ranger nearly took it out of the picture

Hey Spyman03, thanks heaps for the pics. I'm loving the drip feed of images building the suspense. I can't wait to see the last Falcon and am saving my $ to either go Turbo auto or Blown manual. I just hope they fix the gaping hole under the ICC.
Well done.

Or maybe since the forums shares a closer link with FoA then perhaps its part of a plan to a slow release, spark some dialogue, believe it or not thats actually marketing.

Although its market is rather niche these days....atleast they remember their core audience..LOL

Either way it matters little, I dont think its going to overly hurt current sales.

Hey

Thanks again,


The walls do have ears but let me state this, I will not and do not put their job at risk

anything you see here is my responsibility and mine alone if they come after me its me they can go

I'm good at what I do as I've been doing it 15+ years now


Btw you,me and the web I gave up the Price of a small car to post my pics Here,

A guy(USB) on here who thinks of you guys contacted me, when he saw the white car on line, and asked me to help kick off the last "dam good chat" about Falcon,

I speak for myself here but every time they announced another plant gone I went out and cried for the huge loss.

Go and look up the top gear they did in USA when they go to Detroit, that's Victoria in a few years time.

now lets get back to Falcon

Hey,

Not that you would prob update, they are doing major engine mods to the Ranger atm

as Well as a serious mining pack truck, because one of the major players(miners) arn't happy with rangers safety standards

but the read car was a base model

They'd still be using the egas barra wouldn't they (for the falcon)

The reason I haven't just swapped the car for an fg and the cars saving grace has been reliability and being tough as nails, I'm a Courier we need our machines to work

Just a quick question and apologies if it has already been asked .. Will they be releasing the FH as an EcoLPI Falcon and as an Ecoboost Falcon? Or are those variants going to disappear with the FH?

The Eagle, You "know"...ie from a reliable and informed source, or are simply assuming the XR8 is not going ahead (in spite of the official Ford Announcement) ?

I sincerely hope you are wrong.

The XR8 is going ahead but there will be no XR8 ute, which is I think what you'll find he was talking about.

From earlier photos posted it looks like the FH will retain the same "outer" lens shape. I guess they can change the bumper so there wont be a dip along the lower line of the light. But it looked like the rear 3/4 metal was unchanged.

Most tradies chose the XR6 anyway, so I don't think there's much loss in not having a base.

I think the FH will be the last 'Ford' I buy, so am looking forward to it even more as it looks to be considerably different from FG, compared to BF2 -> FG.

Keep it coming

I wouldn't mind a good diesel falcon ute but that's unlikely, xr6t egas rtv would be beyond perfect for me but lol won't happen either, I could do it myself though

I reckon a diesel Falcon Ute would have sold alright. Ditto LPG Territory.

Pity a lot of these things mentioned on here over the years didn't eventuate.
