Re: Falcon to replace CV and GM by '08?

At first when I read the title I thought you were making a jab saying that the falcon will replace the Crown Vic and GM, but then I realized what it was supposed to be.

I would have to say that the Falcon is the only Ford car that I like but I don't know how many will feel about it replaceing the ole' Crown Vic, especially the older people, but I guess they are a dying breed.

I think bringing the Falcon over from down under is a good move. Ford knows they will eventually have to rid themselves of the CV and what better car to do it with? We already know that the Falcon can hold the 5.4L motor and that could certainly appeal to police departments around the country.
