In before:
"But the Commodore had it's sixtieth anniversity edition last year, HOLDON RULEZZ" If holden can badge it's commodore as the 60th edition and ensinuate that the commodore has been around for 60 years, why shouldn't ford do the same? 80th year falcon!

The ltd edition holdens were badged as 60th anniversary editions. Implying 60 years of Holden not the actual model of car

Well I'd like it to be a bit special. I don't just want stickers on the car with some different wheels, I want it to scream of value, be based on an up-market model (not XT) and be marketed till the cows come home. No one here said they hate the concept or that they wanted a brand new model, we just don't want it to be stickers and some nice wheels. It has to appeal and show Australia that the Falcon is Australia, a part of our history and hopefully our future...

We'll see soon enough. If it's true though, I hope they do something a little extra, along the lines of the G6LE, which has done very well. Who knows if we'll get to a 60th anniversary Falcon? GK

ahhhhhhhhhhhh
So XR50 had nothing to do with coyote. But why no 50th XR8?...hmmmm would have looked cracking in the gold and matched well with the original XR GT. The range looks great. edit: Anyone else notice that CA is very pro Ford, I dont know if its years of having the media bagging Ford but they seem to have lots of Ford adds aswell. Just an observation.

At least we've figured out why the G6ET gets a price hike (Free 19's and Sat Nav included) nice!

It mentions a new mocha metallic brown available only on G series. I think it would look fantastic.

Good job all round I reckon. Something for everyone's price range. Plenty of unique touches, and pretty tastefully done too.

The Turbo pic looks a bit like Desert Gold from the XC days.

Now all they gotta do is trumpet the fact that the big bird is 50 years old so people actually notice...

Looks good, much more than a sticker pack. Hopefully this pleases those who doubted ford would take this anniversary seriously.

Not trying to be negative, but does anyone else think 6 different models is going to be too many to properly commutate them to the non-ford customer??
It will be very interesting to see the pricing of the Turbo ones I hope the adds for these sends out a clear message about Australian Made & very pro Australian.. And even something about ongoing investment in Australian made.. |
