I for one wish Rod Barret all the best and hopefully, an improvement in his health.. Last edited by jpd80; 10-06-2012 at 12:11 AM. |

in january when i was looking at fpvs . quite a few dealers were saying , they tell us this may be the last GT .
looks like that might have been on the money . how ever , i wont believe it till i see it and i dont think falcon or fpv is finished . i think it is all typical bad press . |

Its a negative positive, yes, there are low sales...but FPV still indicate a new model out this year.
Seems like nothing more then streamlining the buisness to maintain profitability.

Sure, its not exactly good news but theres nothing there that states the end of FPV or the Falcon.
Seriously, all this negative speculation is doing no-one any good and I'm getting sick of it. Ford and FPV are still releasing new models and products... Give them a fighting chance...!

Exactly, FPV are going to release a new model, yet close down in 6 months?

This is just a negative spin on everything thats in the FPV sticky.
I don't believe this is the end of FPV.

Dont worry, AFF being AFF will act like its the end of the world..all because GT's don't have their own tailights and come 2013 the falcon will be a rebadged mondeo, and the FPV version will have Bathurst decals on the gaurds...

A mid-mounted Miami car? I would be working with Bolwell on such a dream machine.
