Majority of Australia's Falcons have been of the X designation so unless FH is a foregone conclusion... should we send it off as an X?
So we've had XK, XL, XM, XP, XR, XT, XW, XY, XA, XB, XC, XD, XE, XF, XG, XH... Which leaves XI, XJ, XN, XO, XQ, XS, XU, XV, XX, XZ. FH just doesn't do it for me and the 'F' always felt more appropriate to a Holden IMO.

The market has changed - fewer people than ever want Australian-built large family sedans, utes, or wagons. Blame the general public for not supporting local industry. The fact that people have run towards the Corolla over most other vehicles to me states that people are after bland, conservative designs that are reliable - or at least perceived as reliable. I don't blame Ford. It was the best business decision they could make given the circumstances. If you had a business that was not working, would you keep it open purely out of goodwill? I doubt you would.

FA (Ford Australia) Falcon.
But an XZ moniker would be appropriate too. |

Interesting idea OP , even Falcon X has a nice ring to it.
Do like FA tho. I doubt they're that nostalgic like the rest of us.

Unfortunately half the people that make the final calls wouldnt know how to pick the difference between most of the X series models..
XZ is a nice idea.

I'm ok with FH. But XZ, well, that would be fitting for the last Falcon. And, excuse me for sounding a little childish, very, very cool.

I can just imagine the eBay title keyword spamming...
"Suits XZ not XR XT XW XY XA XB XC NOT NOS"

FH is fine by me. Nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia.
