My question is why? 5.4 lt. Boss 290, 4 door kick ass family car? Besides the fact that I feel it would out sell the mustang no less then 2:1.
I felt bad about jacking the thread about the emblems so I started on so we can all bitch about why we should have this. Enjoy
I DONT LIKE IT! it might grow on me but i doubt it. it looks like a new VW and a Hundyia (cant spell). the boss is a good idea for the new cougar:cool:
I'd take that car with a twin-turbo I6 any day of the week.. I'd take two of 'em, even.. (maybe one could be that Ranchero-type thing) you can keep your Boss 290 and your koogr fantasies. :p
:idhitit:
looks alot like a chebby malibu...ick. Atleast it's rear wheel drive.
Gimmie an F6 Typhoon.....you can keep your GT-P.
This would freak out more than a few rednecks around town here: (pic is old version, I think)

The F6 Tornado would have them g themselves....
I love THAT THING!!! it would be a BMW eater thats a given. I wish Ford would market stuff like that over here, i doubt they would be able to keep those things on the LOT!!!
did you guys look at the pursuit and super pursuit i thinks thats a hot little number
I think its pretty cool. Id get one. Id like a Goat too, but we cant all have what we want.
Who would win, Goat or Boss?
It's a Hemi.... HEmi Cuda!!! No really, in the 4 door market today, what would win. A Boss, A Goat..... We really need more of these
I could be mistaken, but I think Max Wedges are not Hemis.
Doesn't really matter who'd "win".. just get me one of the Falcon Utes with a twin-turbo I6 and one of those funky Aussie paint colors like "Fantasy" (the color of the first car you posted, I think) or "Menace" or "DeJa Vu".. :p NOW, it! :D
i like the concept, but it wouldnt sell here. jus look at how much of a flop the GTO was, for whatever reason.
I still think it would sell if there were more options in the feild of 4 door, RWD's with V8's. And I know there a max wedge isn't a hemi, I was screwing around.
Maybe because the Holden Monaro is a generic-looking (albeit fast) car pretending to be some late-60s icon?
Sorry, but I just don't get the GTO (or Charger) vs. Falcon comparisons. The Falcon's not pretending to be some legendary car. Sure, there may have been a few reasonably hot Falcons in the 60s like the Falcon Futura/Comet Cyclone, but the originals are pretty generic-looking:

They don't even have to call it a Falcon if/when they bring it over here. They can use some other generic F-name from the past, like Fairmont. Hardly the same as using a name with a lot of nostalgia built up behind it:

I think you have to be a pretty serious Ford-geek (we're talking major obsessive) to put the Falcon name up there with the GTO name.
How about this idea fellas?
Make that Aussie Falon/Boss whatcamacallit in a 2 door version,
subtly modify the nose, and taillight panel into 2 different versions, and voila, new Tbird/Cougar....birng back the Turbocoupe, and Eliminator nameplates as well, with a bit more power, and forced induction...and have an a new-age luxo car that hauls ass...then, they can take the Mustang, give it 17,000 horsepower, and let the rich folks have em all...:beatyoass:
Seriously though, they oughtta import the Falcon here, in a somewhat revised form, while meeting US emissions and safety standards...and call it the Cougar, or Thunderbird...or Taurus, or wtf ever they vote on...hell, they could call it Yugo II and i'd still want it...
They could even make a , god help us, a 4 door cougar / t bird like the charger. The turbo I6 for the Tc/ XR 7 and then the v6/v8 for base and say the boss for a middle of the road model?
i didnt start the comparison, check out the second pic. i do agree with it however, a car like that would never out sell the mustang here.
i guess i must be a ford geek
