No, that stupidity can stay in the other thread.
1391 Falcons isnt too bad, considering in the first half of this year it was languishing around 1000 units (or less) per month.

Commodore really has fallen off the edge. From #1, to just beat out last year, to no where near the front.

The limited edition falcon models probably helped private sales, prices are better than ever

Which really confirms what I have been thinking for a while - the larger cars are not suffering due to size, they are suffering due to pricing being dramatically higher than smaller cars. |

Territory numbers seemed to have dropped off a bit over the last few months.. Is this because they can't build enough because of Falcon build numbers or is this a real drop off??

Falcon is holding up Territory..... They still need to build them in sync sadly. In saying that however there is a fair amount of stock around.

I'm not sure about the lesser models but trying to find a Turbo model for a test drive was a major pain in the **** for me in Sydney, hell most dealers had no stock at all and had to order them in from someplace else ... seemed all really weird to me considering its an Australian made car!!!

I would love to see that, even if it meant eating margins just to pump some volume into the nameplate. Sales appear to breed sales, the more cars you have on the road and in driveways the more word of mouth sales you gather. Also gives the 2014 Falcon some good momentum with having a larger owner base ready to trade up to the new model. |

Would Falcon sales be better if they had a conventional wagon ??
Holden will have the Sportswagon in the VF. sales must be there to keep building it ??????

?? VF wagon will be exactly the same as VE from the A pillar back. It will basically just have a new bonnet and front bumper and headlights. Hardly much of an investment - consider that Ford on the other hand would have a much larger investment in designing an FG-based wagon.

A better idea for the Falcon would be to start being more realistic with pricing for the XT Ecoboost for example. No one in their right mind is going to pay $37-odd grand RRP for a 4cyl base spec car. Sure no one pays full retail anyway, but to the average punter who looks online would be instantly put off.

I think people are more inclined to look into buying when they know a real ballpark figure for a car prior to sitting down to nut out a deal. No one I know has ever paid RRP on a new car so would a lower (but more firm) starting price get more people through the door?? Most new car reviews also always have a value component included. A lower RRP would be a positive when compared to other models in a review.

The base Falcon XT is worthless, it offers nothing to get people through the door. It simply drags down the image of the rest of the Falcon range without contributing anything. A $29,990 base price would see it pull its weight. |

Either way I'm sick of them gutsing XR6 for $32,990 and still wanting $37,990 for XT's!!! its ridiculous! XT has to be cheaper to manufacture then XR6!!

Ford hasn’t dropped the price of the XR6 below the 37K mark all year! This is a huge change from prior years & I like it! Although I do agree, they could push the XT pricing harder. I say around the 30-ish mark drive away.
