PFdesign Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 If anyone is keen to see some official pics and read the specs of Ford Australia's newest baby, there will be information on the Performance Ford website from midday on Sunday 17th. (New York:5pm Sat, LA:9pm Sat, London midnight Sat - I think!) Those in the US should take note, we might be building your Mustangs soon!

Here is a web site with pictures http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/large-gal...13800-2,00.html Why does Ford Not sell these over here ? far better looking the current Ford Fusion.

LaredoRV Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Exterior of the Fusion is better, but the Falcon beat it all for the rest ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, except that in NA, people in general don't want RWD midsize sedans. Its shown by the market leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaredoRV Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 True. Is is the same size as the "New" G8 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
156n3rd Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have always admired Fords of Oz. But what will a Mustang cost you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have always admired Fords of Oz. But what will a Mustang cost you guys? last ones FoA imported in 2002 were AUS$85,000. The person who bought this Mustang has to be fanatical about owning Mustangs, who else would pay all the shipping, fees and costs associated with making the car right-hand drive just to have one in Austrailia. I am unsure of the actual price tag to own a Mustang in Austrailia but a few years back I recall somebody paying upwards of $100K just to own an ordinary 2005 Mustang GT.Right-Hand Drive 2007 S197 Mustang GT In Aussie Land http://www.mustangaustralia.com.au/ New Saleen S281 S/C Coupe -$173,500 2008 Vapour S/C Coupe - $173,500 2007 Saleen S331 S/C Sport Truck - $162,500 1998 Mustang GT Convertible - $49,500 Bear in mind the Aussie Dollar is now close to $0.93 cents US.

DCSpeedster Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Here is a web site with pictureshttp://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/large-gal...13800-2,00.html thanks for the link. that's definitely a good looking car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) thanks for the link. that's definitely a good looking car.. In summary it's slightly wider and longer than a Fusion and cabin interior dimensions are same as Crown Victoria! If you like Pontiac G8, you'll love this!!!

Its making a come back in NA. Probably because of all the retro muscle cars coming out. Notice G8 is RWD and Ford is supposed to have a RWD. LOL even Hyndai (sp?) is coming out with a RWD.

For sure, Australia took the Kinetic styling route because of all the other FoE products we sell. Love to see a more Americanised version, anything is possible with the way the Falcon's front is formatted - easy to change everything and unlike Holden/Pontiac G8 would give more impact than just adding two nostrils: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see a more Americanised version, anything is possible with the way the Falcon's front is formatted - easy to change everything and unlike Holden/Pontiac G8 would give more impact than just adding two nostrils: I hope we get to see the new Falcon in the UK JPD, I love all the RWD cars Ford have produced in the past it's great to see Ford are using the same drive as all the top quality manufactuers use. It's a shame Ford don't let the designers out of their Mondeo straightjacket and bring something new to the marketplace, still the Falcon looks a bit more EVO than Mondeo with the rear spoiler at the back, how did you get that spoiler past the madmen at Ford design HQ quality control? What Fords master plan to bore us all to death with boring design so we all end up wanting to join Greenpeace or FOE to ban cars & boredom off the streets of Europe.
