Falcon Ecoboost with ST Active Sound Symposer

**Luke Plaizier** · 02-12-2012, 09:08 PM

Come on, some one give this a go? I've been in a new Focus ST, and at WOT it sounds a lot like being in a souped-up early 1980's RS SOHC 2.0 Litre Escort.

Maybe the Sound Symposer is a feature that should be added to a future Falcon XR4T?

Was in the older model aswell and did nothing I reckon, and the older car was less refined.
Wonder if it will filter to the falcon?

Would be a great addition to a sporty model, but I don't think XR4 works, nor ST because its not European. I would think Falcon S or XTR , XTS.
What it would also need is quicker steering (probably EPS on '14 anyway) to take advantage of that light front end, and a slick shifting, non-clunky 6 speed manual option.

I love the idea of a 'Falcon S' Ecoboost coming with the 2014 update. 'S' decals on the rear quarters would do nicely. Don't spec it any higher than the XT, but give it some bright paint colours, red stripes, larger alloys, colour matched cloth trim, sports suspension and the all important 6 speed manual option.

If it's a Falcon S it better have red piping on the seats and snowflake wheels too!

Would never happen. I seriously thing XR4 would have a better chance. But then again, they'd probably just call it the XR6 EcoBoost, which would confuse the numerical designation as shown on G6 EcoBoost.
