Ford starts production of FPV muscle sedans

[SC Cheesehead]

"...Ford, meanwhile, is working on its own new Falcon for 2014, and no doubt there will be high-performance FPV versions as well. Sadly, there’s close to zero chance any of these will be offered in the U.S."

:( Dang, I wish Ford would go ahead and import these...:(

[guspech750]

Fook Ford.


Chrysler, BMW, GM, oh hell. Every other manufacture has V-8RWD FTW!

Even a 4 door Genisis R-Spec has a 429hp V-8 motor.

Yeah, importing these should be a no-brainer... :shake:

Should be a no brainer.

Hell, GM has been importing Holdens since 2003. What's taking Ford so long to realize they have a winner that needs to come here.

Yup, I'd be in in the line for one of those, too.

Hi Guys

Have you considered it may be expensive for Ford to redesign and manucature a left hand drive version then get them homologated for the U.S.?

True, but there must be a fairly compelling business case for that; case in point, the 2014 "Chevy" Impala SS.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

It's funny how GM decided to import the Holden and call it the SS..yet they receive flack for it being simply a "re-badged" Australian engineered, Australian built car to shove down American's throats. People complain that they were bailed out and can not even produce their own vehicles here or American jobs to build our own cars. Seems like people will always find a way to ***** about everything no matter how cool.

I would love these FPVs to be brought over!

Or they're dealing with repercussions from not taking a bailout?

Ford is a better company for not taking a bail out! The govt cant tell them what to do. And the fact they took my money for the bail out I still cant get my partial owner discount lol...

Naah, the work is done, just have to mirror image the tooling. Cost would be peanuts to them.

The problem is who is running the company. Instead of producing what the public wants, they are doing their own thing & shoving down the public's throat. Will work at first but in long run will be their undoing. Free market is a beautiful thing...

AMEN! :beer:

[Mr. Man]

If they import the style Doomie pictured they sell a few if they imported the one in the article they have to give them away. That paint combo is horrid.:puke:

No thanks.

I will keep driving my Marauder.

The car is Schweeeet! but from the article this may be a contributing factor:

"final price tag of over $105,000 at current conversion rates.":bigcry:

way too out of price range for me
