Very true, but it is something, who knows what might happen this year with the 4 cylinder Falcon, if Ford can convince Australian buyers that you can get good acceleration and economy out of a 4 cylinder engine in a Falcon body people could really warm to the car. Look at the options now available to Falcon & Territory buyers, Petrol, Turbo, LPG, 4 Cylinder, Diesel Territory.

I just can't stand Ford Australias marketing, look how Holden have marketed the Cruze as an Australian product, Holden like to brag about the fact it makes 2 cars in Australia, the Territory is Australian designed and built here since 2004, how many people know this.

It's pretty amusing though, considering the XR8 next year will be reborn with the same spec engine as the FG GT, could you imagine being a HSV owner forking out all that money on a brand new GTS, then pulling up to the lights next to a FH XR8 and then sitting side by side all the way to 100 and beyond
Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.
