those looking for affordable v8's weren't buying them when ford was offering them. makes it extremely difficult for ford to justify bringing one back. xr6t is the performance offering.

G6E (and G6/G6ET) sales are much better than what fairmont/ghia used to be. they are also being bought by a much younger demographic. it was probably one of the best moves ford did.
950 sales per month for the falcon, now shure those 400 wouln't come in handy now?

if ford had a desent V8 in the first place they would have sold.. they now have a coyote..

they could have shared the cost of development with FPV...
one with the blower, one without..
