Ford has given up on developing I can’t see any XR8 going up in value, so you should buy the car you want to own and drive.

Some models also offer heavy-duty or towing option packs which can increase towing capacity, as well as options which can hamper towing capacity. The twin-lamp headlights feature a single integrated daytime running light strip where the XR’s version features a double ‘hockey stick’ DRL arrangement.There’s a nice detail on the G6E in the form of the G-shaped silver foglight surround.A much-improved rear end design synchronizes with the front by employing narrower tail-lights, joined by a chrome strip across the bootlid. And I mean, that while they all do exactly what they’re meant to, there’s very little feel or progression to their action, and that particularly applies to the brakes which are either on or not, as is the throttle.The gearbox is typically agricultural if its rushed, just as the manual in the Falcon always has been, and the Commodore is no different. So you still sit higher than ideal.It otherwise remains a thoroughly comfortable car, with the Falcon joining the Commodore as continuing proof that Ford and Holden engineers have world class ability at delivering expertly judged suspensions.The Ford FG X Falcon is (appropriately) at its most relaxing in G6E guise, its underpinnings providing the most supple ride in the range as well as the quietest tyres.There’s still the same sharp initial steering response that takes a little longer to adjust to than it would in a Commodore, but once you have it’s easy to accurately direct the Falcon’s front end exactly where you want it.The XR6, on sports suspension and one-inch-bigger (19-inch) wheels, rides more firmly than the G6E but still keeps the worst bumps at bay while the damping is nicely controlled over country roads.

Instead people rank cars in how quick it can charge their Apple iPhone. It’s a real shame.

The slightly lighter, more efficiency-focused ZF six-speeder is built in China compared with the German-made version designed to handle more torque and used in the XR6 Turbo and XR8.Apart from the natural benefits of the reduced mass over the front end the turbo four brings, the EcoBoost engine feels a bit livelier to a press of the throttle pedal, has plenty of overtaking grunt, and still uses the least fuel of any Falcon (officially 8.0L/100km).The six-cylinder remains the pick if towing is a key consideration, though.Ford has also trimmed pricing by up to nearly $10,000 on some models, though RRPs have always been just a starting point for negotiations when it comes to the local large cars. Despite being a large car, the Falcon doesn’t actually feel all that big on the inside.

I also own 2 HQ Monaro’s.

The Ford Falcon currently offers fuel consumption from 8.1 to 13.9L/100km. Meaning they’ve both got great engines but are let down by handling and the quality of the interior which, for the money can’t match many cheaper cars. The console bin now features two USB ports, an SD card slot, and there’s also a housing for a mobile phone.The clarity of the screen’s presentation is excellent, while the interface is super-simple and important processes such as phone pairing are straightforward.There’s improved resolution for the reverse-view camera, which is standard on all models and the display gains guiding lines for parking. Sadly, the grunts Falcons and Commodores are engine cars rather than chassis cars. There will be those who can remember the names, and the legends who drove them in motor racing but for the majority of the unwashed the two iconic names will likely slip from dealership without notice.
