tjm73 04-01-2004, 04:06 PM Ford Australia builds some awesome cars. I like the Pursuit GT myself.
Is that a turbo I6?
focus 04-01-2004, 04:14 PM There are rumors going around that Ford might bring it over here. But I highly doubt we will get all the nice features.
The XR6-T is turbocharged and intercooled inline six cylinder engine that was engineered in Australia
The XR8 comes with Ford's familiar 5.4 liter V8 engine
Red Baron 04-01-2004, 04:17 PM God DAMN....that car is so awesome, there's 2 around farmington (farmington rd and 12mile), the sedan and the truck, the sedan is blue and the truck is silver/grey. There's also someone there with a Focus RS, it's a pretty happenin' parking lot lemme tell ya that...
Red Baron 04-01-2004, 04:20 PM Oh shit, i thought i was posting on another website...(lots of michigan people) Farmington is in Metro Detroit
Infra3sv 04-01-2004, 07:25 PM Nice. got specs?
mconrada 04-01-2004, 07:33 PM I'll take 2[:D]
Disturbed ZX3 04-01-2004, 07:36 PM Damn, that is a sick looking car. I'd hit it. 2 times.
gmoffat 04-01-2004, 07:40 PM Very nice. Flip the steering wheel to the other side and bring it over here, Ford!
gmoffat 04-01-2004, 07:41 PM Anyone else think it looks kinda like a Mazda6, maybe just a bit longer?
On_Cloud_9 04-01-2004, 07:42 PM Make mine a Black 5 speed!!!!!! Those are SWEET!!
P0WeRbyDuratec 04-01-2004, 07:44 PM DAMNNNNN THATS HOT[thumb] That would be awsome if they could bring something like that over here
focuzdSVT 04-01-2004, 07:50 PM I'd buy that for a dollar!
Really like the truck!!!
I worked in Australia for almost three years back in 98-00. I would always rent a Falcon, and they are a blast to drive. Aussies still love RWD and V8s. I got to drive them on twisty mountain roads (on the left hand side of the road!). It was very very well behaved automobile.
Kicknzx3 04-01-2004, 08:04 PM we need a 5.4 coupe to toy with the gto, i'd def tap it in da butt
Sublime 04-01-2004, 08:16 PM Excuse me while I go clean my pants. I have always liked the Australian Falcons. The best were the years that were pretty much just like our Torinos.
crazy_urn 04-01-2004, 08:33 PM me want....
staticprevails4 04-01-2004, 09:06 PM Where do I sign up? I want one of each.
focaltech 04-01-2004, 09:13 PM I have posted about these cars many times. They are beautiful cars with nice powerful powertrain setups.
If they brought them here to the states I would have to get one.
SVT4ME 04-01-2004, 09:21 PM Why does the United States, Ford's home country, get either the wimped-out version of a car, or not get it at all? Europe/Australia gets the Focus RS and a zillion other good cars over the years, like the Falcon this thread is about, and we get the Taurus and the Tempo and whatnot.
If they did bring that car here, I probably couldn't afford it, but I'd definitely try to talk my parents into buying one so I could borrow it! [:D]
drewzx3 04-01-2004, 11:28 PM i likes
blanezx3 04-01-2004, 11:37 PM screw flippin the steering wheel.. i'd be happy with a rhd ;)
Lil_RedZX3 04-01-2004, 11:50 PM Maybe I'll just move to Austraila mate.......

Chick 04-02-2004, 11:54 AM I love that car.
If they had ever brought it to the states, I'd take one over a 350Z anyday:)
DonRich90 04-02-2004, 12:17 PM Beats the hell out of the '60 Falcon I had!
Focusedat50 04-02-2004, 03:47 PM Nice car(s)
Infra3sv 04-02-2004, 04:19 PM curb weight? skidpad? engine specs? braking? tires? suspension?

Yeah, it does. It's ass to too long for me, but overall, a very nice car.
Odublar 04-03-2004, 10:10 AM I'd trade in my car this second......[ohcrap][thumb]
The car, not the truck....looks nice though...I like four door cars. [:D]
bak9799 04-04-2004, 12:34 AM I love the way they look, they look like a cross between a mustang and a Contour...
the Falcon kicks ass!!!!!!!!!
