2008 Ford Falcon G6E.jpg

Ford Falcon (E240 or FG series). 2008 to date (prod. unknown). 4-door sedan, 2-door utility truck. F/R, 3984 cm³ petrol, 3984 cm³ natural gas (6 cyl. DOHC), 5408 cm³ (V8 DOHC). Extensively revised E241 series launched in February 2008 with three grilles, for regular Falcon, G6 series (which replaces the Futura and Fairmont nameplates) and XR. V8 engine restricted to sporty XR8 model only. No station wagon (EA169 platform carries over on facelifted model). Notable for very little change in fuel economy figures compared with predecessor. V8 produces 290 kW. FG designation supposedly meant to evoke memories of now-defunct Fairmont Ghia nameplate. Marketed as larger than Mondeo Mk IV, but in fact smaller in key dimensions except overall length. At time of launch, petrol models gained a five-star ANCAP safety rating, one up on its main competitor, the Holden Commodore (VE).
