Falcon? Hell yeah!

 

What is is?

 

Australian Ford Falcon and European Ford Mondeo.

 

May be in the US by 2013?

 

Do my eyes decieve me? Is that a falcon??
I may not have to settle for an accord as my first sedan!

 

Egads man, there are already several choices better than an Accord.

 

Well its affordable, great in mileage, and surprisingly fun to drive! My moms got on (stick) and it moves pretty good for bein a jap v6. Ive even beaten a couole 2010 v6 mustangs believe it or not. Plus i was making a bit of a joke too with that

 

Well next Fusion and Mondeo will share platforms, but I'm not sure how Falcon fits in the picture ... Unless Ford is planing something big with Taurus?

 

Well the falcon should compete right with the re-badged pontiac g8 so thats where it would fit in

 

I don't think Ford wants two full-size sedans (Taurus and Falcon).

 

Maybe Ford NA is using the Falcon as a test bed for a EB V6?

 

Ford's been testing Falcons in the US for awhile.

Australia will very likely be getting a next-gen Taurus-based car to take over the fullsize segment. Wescoent and Blue II have hinted a smaller RWD car, think 3-series sized, sharing engineering with the Next Mustang could show up.

 

they could have the taurus and the falcon, using the taurus as the more expensive luxurious one, and the falcon as the slightly cheaper sportier one - maybe even to replace the fusion sport - Think Nissan Altima/Maxima

 

The falcon here most likely will either the turbo 6 like in australia or use the new ecoboost 6. And possibly the coyote 5.0 for the high end performance versions, maybe with all-wheel drive and cylinder de-activation for better fuel economy. Very costly yes but necessary in todays market and economy. Not to mention the new CAFE standards to be set in the near future
