Ok before the fun police come in lets just put the disclaimer that this thread is all about what you like, not the general market place, with no real concern for emissions or how much it might cost to develop etc.
Trying to keep things within the realms of planet earth might help, but this is all meant to be a bit of fun, a wish list if you like. Perhaps keeping the parts/options from the Ford global sand pit could be a restriction. The current range of the Falcon is pretty good if you ask me, but there would be a couple of cars that would get me into a dealership yesterday. 1. Ecoboost XR6 Manual 2. Just about any TDi Falcon, again manual would be preferred but id settle with the ZF 3. A naturally aspirated XR8 5.0 coyote 4. G6ET with a manual and red leather option ala "E" series FPV But my favourite would be; 5. XR8 Sprint, with the BOSS302 pinched from the Laguna Seca, manual, no frills and brembo's please. Stripe package and all. Something like this, acknowledgement to EFFALCON for the chop.

Mine would be a BA GT with a FG GT supercharged motor with full Street Fighter kit.
Would want it to have 6 spd manual with Brembos for stopping power. |

A “performance” Territory with the Miami and strengthened drive train (a real world 0-100 less than 5½ seconds) . Lowered just a little bit, 20" with wide-ish tyres, Brembos all round and a FPV looking body kit.
Plus all the tech bells and whistles missing off the Aussie Fords (keyless entry, powered rear boot, optional real Premium audio system (Harman Kardon type, etc)

Id also love to see a Miami in a Ranger as there is no XR8 ute. And a proper "premium" sound system is way over due..even the Sony stuff from the EU would be better than what we get. Simdy the 5.8 is outrageous...im sure it wont be long until someone slides on e in here. Ateast the block anyway.

Blood orange BA GT-P with one of these in it -

And on and on... |

A little unconventional but i'd like a subtle Falcon with the following list of attributes. I've gone the AMG/M-Sport route of subtle looks with the power underneath:

Well, I have 2 orders to place thank you sir.
1) F8X. Basically, the F6X but with the FG GT running gear. Everything else fits my needs, the trim, the looks, etc. I'll have it in Kinetic Blue thanks. 2) XR8 Wagon FG XR8 Looks, GS Interior will be fine thanks. Doesn't necessarily need the GT running gear, a mild engine will be fine. I'll take that one in Everglade Green (from the old E-series range) thanks. That should do me. As they've already made a perfect car for me. It's Green, It's Rare, and It's not for sale.

Re my post... note to self, read and understand the question before posting. :/
Falcon I'd like to see would be the FPV Black as it looked at the MMS. And then add in the tech bells and whistles missing off the Aussie Fords (keyless entry, optional real Premium audio system (Harman Kardon type), ****ometers like the HSV EDI, etc)

FPV GS rebadged as a Ford XR8 with dual-fuel LiLPG and full warranty for under $60k rrp would get me in the door.
Would likely opt for a Manual, but if the Auto had steering-wheel mounted paddles I'd be tempted. Surely it can't be hard. Even if the current backside audio switches changed roles when the auto was in Manual mode. Would really love a return to Blueprint as well. Really loved that colour. All those Blueprint BA's still stand out for me - especially when the sun is shining and all the silver specs really show out. Lukeyson

A 9 second F6 from factory that gets 8L/100 around town and is as tame as a current standard F6 when driving in traffic.
And the same but in a GT-P version too. Give it 15-20 years, it'll happen.

A Falcon wagon, with the rear end redesigned so it looks like something from this centrury, with the Jaguar 3.0 V6 diesel engine in (not the old tech 2.7 V6 from the old S-type like the Territory now has). That would give style, carrying capacity, economy and sub 7s 0-100kph. Plus a few features like auto wipe, active cruise control/collision mitigation etc.

FPV style FG wagon. Twin turbo or S/C v8.
Perfect size for a family car but still has the looks, and "dads toy" on the weekends with the power to back it up;) 20s and brembos are a must (HSV made a R8 wagon in the VE so why can't ford?) |

Im 21, I work hard, I'd like to buy one of these, and slowly do it up =] It should be the same price as an SS or less. |

I have a few but the general flavour at the moment for me is an EL GT with the T3 5.6 stroker and a T56 behind it. Might not be the newest and fastest but geez it'd be a nice cruiser with a bit of power behind it.
As a 'newer' vehicle it would be an FG GS (yes GS not GT) with the blown 5.0 (and intercooler for good measure), brembos 6spd, sunroof and (sue me) HSV seats.
