What would you buy?

[chookaradley]

With all the talk of Falcon on life support it raises an interesting question amongst a lot of die hard Ford fans.
What would you buy if the Falcon was no more?.

[Struggo]

Holden Commodore Sportwagon SS

[sbcb]

Keep a used one until the day I die. Nothing will ever be better. Is that a little narrow minded? Lol

[wrongwaynorris]

Last of the breed or late model low k example and at my age I'll have it till I die .

[XR Martin]

2015 Mustang

[duaned]

Kia Optima. I love the look of those things.

[zilo]

If no more falcon, then commodore if no more commodore then toyota.

[40RDT]

I would probably go buy a commodore or a hsv

[ryeman]

The 2014 Kuga.

[335POWER]

Mustang

[BF-2K7]

Ranger ute or Territory- wouldnt lower myself to be in a Holden

The VE Sportwagon 60th Eds looked good IMO, don't like the sportwagons with the sports bodykit... and then I'd drop a 6.0L V8 in it, or at least a used 4.0 I6! Would I actually buy one though? They are a bit small inside thats all.

Unfortunately the only Falcon I'd want to buy new has already died, the wagon. :( If there was a still a proper sized wagon (the Sporthatch doesn't count! ) I might!

My opinion may not count, I'm not near the point in my life when I'd consider buying a brand newie. I'll spend less and import a big 70s American wagon!

The day they stop building Falcons is the day I stop buying Fords. I will buy one of the last Falcons and keep it until I die. I will never move from Ford to Holden products.

As to other brands, I would consider something from VW.

[revcore]

If there was no more Falcon I'd probably buy a V8 Commodore ute.

[TC200six]

Maybe a 4WD Ranger or if I just want a highway cruiser, a Mustang.

That's if I had to buy a Ford.

[Destroyer XR8]

Would have to agree with most people, keep the one ive got till the day i die or get a mustang if they ever bring them out here. I've only ever owned fords and thats the way i'd like to keep it.

[grandpa_spec_F6]

Depends on what the price range is I guess, if we're talking apples for apples then if I had to give back mine and the Falcon wasn't an option I'd probably be in either a Ford Ranger or a Hilux, just for something different.

While I like the E series 1 HSV it's now getting a tad old, and the series 2 and 3 just don't do it for me at all. Also, a major reason I saw the light initially when buying my first Ford was the fact they know how to make a comfortable and swish looking interior! Sure the F6 and GT isn't as "Bling" as the HSV's one but it looks accommodating, comfortable and understated rather than 'utilitarian' / 'militaristic'. This is obviously my own taste bias so take that with a grain of salt.

If price WASN'T an issue I'd probably end up with an AMG C63 Sedan, for me they accommodate a family and have the luxury / grunt that I've found to be a winning combo for myself. I thought I would only care about 'going fast' until you start to miss creature comforts.

If no wife / kids... mustang

[RAPID_BA]

I'd go Toyota aurion.

Or for more performance Holden ss/hsv

[P6LTD351]

Keep driving the ones in my sig.

[ryeman]

Nearly bought one if I hadn't been for being treated like a woodie!

[marcyeo]

Spend a whole lot more cash but get a Nissan GTR - still best value supercar around, also lots of talk that the new GTR will likely be a hybrid, so like the dying Falcon, would be a keeper..

plus would continue to appeal to the modifying bug!

[Mont5.0]

Plenty of 2nd hand falcons going around.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Whatever product fits my needs from whichever brand has the best product at the time of purchase. I'm not really in the market for another large sedan.

Mind you a Mustang would be on the top of the short list if they do actually start selling them here.

[blackf6]

Ford will have a model to replace it with. If not after my current falcon's die, maybe a focus.

[NX74205]

I would still buy a Ford. I'm a Ford fan more than I am a Falcon fan, so I'd keep buying Ford products. Maybe a Mondeo or Focus. Or the new Kuga.

But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

[Polyal]

Bit of a morbid thread.

I still wont buy a GMH, in the same bracket etc then I dont mind the new Mazda 6, in TDi form would be nice. Shame they dropped the manual option from the whole range on the new one though.

[pottery beige]

XA panno with a dont laugh your mum may be inside sticker

[bigwil]

A low kms falcon, plenty of great models to choose from to keep me interested until they realise there mistakes and bring it back.

[Cobramad]

A viable alternative to the last FPV's would have to be a C63 for me, second hand so I dont get too punished by depreciation. Hugely talented vehicle and would also give me someone to cheer for in the V8SC circus.
