Is that an Aussie only vehicle? They need to release those over here.
Would still like to get my hands on a mid 70's Falcon. Falcon XC Cobra was a great vehicle (thought the XA/XB models were no slackers either).

I saw in a recent Motor Trend (I know, MT isn't very reliable, so take it for what its worth), article name was something like "top 10 vehicles we'd like to see sold in the US that aren't", that Ford has thought about bringing the Falcon here, but the with the current design it would be too expensive to reengineer to a left hand drive vehicle (Aussie drivers sit on the other side of the car). So there may be some hope when the car is redesigned. But I gotta agree with James, it would probably fill a market that Ford is already attacking with other cars.
360 lb/ft of torque at 2000 rpms!! Talk about a torque monster. Great post Zoran..... I think I may be moving to Austrailia now
