NO NOT RIP the falcon is not dead it is still with us and it is our job to collect and save these spectacular cars form the XW, XY,
XA, XB, XC and Ford Falcon Sprint these are the cars we must keep on the road and if we don't they will become dead. Start saving the new ones because very soon they will become old and the XR8 and the XR6 will become very desirable collector cars like the GT.
it is heartbreaking to see Ford killing it's falcon range, the falcon including the ones built in Argentina and the US will always be my favorite Ford models
the last model of the falcon here in Argentina is the 93, it is an Argentine classic like the Chevrolet NOVA (or simply known as Chevy here in Argentina) like the Ford Taunus and also the IKA / Renault Torino (the Torino is a car 100% Argentine production)
No , Torino was the redesigning of the Rebel of AMC in minor interior details by Pininfarina.
Love the XR - XY era
You have some absolutely gorgeous cars! The US government ended creative automobile designing after 1972 and we've been choking on government-built shit-box cars ever since. You are so lucky to have prospered beyond 1972 with innovating styling and downright handsome automobiles! Believe me, we in the US envy you.
Sad to see the tradition die. Wish we could have saved the jobs and the marque. RIP Falcon.
I reckon the FG Xs will become a modern XA in terms of prices and collectibility.
Yeah maybe, the FG X XR8 has been holding it's value very well, I guess that's because it was the last mass produced V8 Falcon sedan.
Awesome video
I'm holding onto my FGX :D
thats crazy. in my country, argentina, the falcon was always a lot like the first american ones, although they stopped making them a long time ago, and we never had the fancy two door ones. A lot of the australian falcons never came out here, and a lot came out with a different name, like the ford focus, although the front was different...
God bless all Ford Falcons.
I agree great cars the best 👍
The Fairmont name should have stayed, It's the G6 and G6E that should never have come to be
From the XC, the Falcon's appearance got progressively worse until the BA, then the strong falcon look came back.
DoogleDoesStuff the EL looked great
Riley Knights EL looked like a taxi mate.
DoogleDoesStuff I reckon the XD had that tough look. Just as nearly good as the XYs and XAs.
@@smartey2612 Yeah the XD was still good, and the XR6/XR8 AU looked ok.
@@smartey2612 el xr8s with full body kit look mean and have a nice body
Only the greatest Australian car ever...that's all.. 56 years of beautiful , reliable , many classy and truly iconic cars ..look at the boxy ugly all the same looking s..t we get to drive now ...not me , still have a gorgeous silver FG XR6 and a never give up silver AU Series 2 Futura...Bloody love them...
Falcon out of all 3 Auzzie gr8's are my personal fav (xy's and xb's) ,at 6' and 100kg's they were the most comfortable,Holden's were a wee bit small a bit tight on the long haul,mean while Vallies were the opposite, yet all 3 are still the best we've had here in NZ (in my generation anyway),and still gettin betta!!!?
In argentina the last model of the falcon is model 1993
Had no idea Ford still made Falcons.
It died in 2016 because the government didn’t want to support it same with Toyota and Holden in Australia
Ford bring back the Falcon to America, please!
Having owned a privately imported used XC Ute which I drove for 8 years I would not ask US Ford to bring back "the Falcon", I say bring back the Aussie Falcon and sell IT in the United States!
My XC Ute w/ 302 ( yes, 302) Cleveland made US Fairlanes boring!
@@rogerc.roberts4705 it will not handle the same ford australia designed everything from ground up from driveline ford australia and ford america had a massive argument cause ford america wanted ford australia to use there mustang driveline ford australia said no we want to design our own drive line so they did... so if ford US make the falcon itll be all mustang drive line it will not handle the same... the falcon from AUS to BA"s to BF"s handle the best out of the falcon range.. the falcons from FG to FGX never handled very nice i will always turn back to the AU or the B series in the falcon range cause they were a nicer falcon always were never even faulted in the v8 supercars ether only time ford went down hill in the v8 supercars was when they bought out the FG to FGX those 2 versions of cars never held up well...
I’m restoring my dads 1970 xw since he’s leaving it in the backyard to rust and I’ve got to much time on my hands 😏
What the XC cobra wasnt 9g back in 78 more like 12 g & that was for the 302 I know I effen bought one brand new
ПРИВЕТ ИЗ РОССИИ!😄👍FALCON 1964 XM 👍
Just brush or the typhoon 🌀 like it never happened.... Wound down it still destroyed everything...
The XC was a good car just could not out run rust, The XF was rubbish I own one for 8 years and yes it was most time fix and repair. Door dropping all the time. The AU is on the best , I still have one today and its a good car. The BA was ok but like most computer issues.
The worst thing about the XF is you can't make a square car round it made it look hideous I loved the bold straight lines of the XD/E (owned a XD fairmont should have never sold that car ) AU's are frecking awesome they just look like a turtle
After that great video you said next to nothing about the FG-X and nothing at all of the greatest performance Falcon of all time the Sprint! How odd!
Of all the Fords made in Australia, I got to say the FG was the best looking Falcon, the FG-X looks too much a Ford Focus.
Master Yoda how does it look like a focus at all. The Falcon came along first in 2014 before the focus. FG X looks way better then that plan taxi FG.
Unfortunately not everyone has good taste, the fgx looks miles better
You mean the Focus looks too much like the FG X
bad move ford
I don't think it was Ford Australia's choice
Holden.... Dead Brand....Kaput... Gone Burger.....I am so sad.... you HQ lovers and that stupid Torana or what ever....the best thing about them is that they were mentioned in one of my favorite movies ever "The Castle". A Mk 3 or Mk4 Ford 2 ltr Cortina could smash a 186 Cu Inch Torana thats a 3 Liter 6 cylinder GM being inferior to a 2 Liter 4 cylinder Ford
In 2008 in the GFC GM stood for Government Money! Now GM has exited Opel and Vauxhall! It (GM) isn't even a global brand anymore!
And Ford is still a global brand!
