SVO Mustang, itd be nice to have another turbo mustang or just an Eco boost v6 stang

The next gen. (2014/5) Mustang will likely have a turbo 4 engine and also have a Eco boost engine.





I would like GMC to make performance version of their SUV/ trucks again, like the Typhoon and the Syclone.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing a modern incarnation of the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton. Perhaps based on the current Insignia/Buick Regal? And completely insane, M/AMG/SRT/V slaying power. I'd buy one.
 
Thing is, that kind of Falcon is entirely different than what we had in the States. Back in 1960, as the predecessor to the Mustang, the Falcon was a very small car that was available as a coupe, sedan and wagon... And eventually as a Ute as well. Eventually the Falcon gave way to the Maverick, which was a rather crummy small car that capitalized on the gas crisis in the worst way.

The Falcon down under always seemed to be a bigger vehicle than what we had here, and that is dramatically more evident now compared to then. If the Australian Falcon ever came here, it would be roughly the same size as the current Taurus that we have here. And that is one big car.

Our Falcon evolved out of the American one. We just built them properly so that the front end wouldn't collapse on our rubbish roads. :)

I guess the evolutionary path ours took better met our needs and resulted in what we have today. Unfortunately, people seem to need soccer trucks as soon as they have a child these days, so know one knows just how good the ride/handling/nvh/performance of the current Falcon is.

IIRC, our current Falcon is a bit smaller than the latest Taurus.
