VALUE IN LIMITED EDITION FALCON

By EWAN KENNEDY
21 September 2009


Ford has introduced a special edition version of the G6 Falcon that comes with almost $4000 of additional equipment at no extra cost. With a driveaway price of $36,490, the G6 Limited Edition, Ford Australia says it gives almost $13,000 of net retail value compared to the standard G6.

The exterior of the G6 Limited Edition is enhanced with 18-inch G Series alloy wheels, there are specific colour accent treatments on the upper and lower grilles that give it a standout frontal appeal. That's enhanced by foglight bezels and rear bumper insert. 'Limited Edition' badges tell others you are driving a Falcon that's out of the ordinary.

Inside, leather-detailed seat trim and a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel add a touch of sporty class. The steering wheel carries audio and cruise control buttons with a satin alloy finish to add to this feel. The use of iPod and Bluetooth mobile phone integration makes for greater convenience and should provide improved safety.

Also on the safety front, the Falcon G6 Limited Edition has six airbags, including side curtain units.

Interestingly, the G6 Limited Edition isn't sold only with the Falcon straight-six petrol engine, it is also offered with the E-Gas dedicated LPG engine and accompanying four-speed automatic transmission. When the E-Gas option is chosen, the Falcon will be fitted with 17-inch sports alloy wheels to differentiate it from the petrol G6 Limited Edition model.

The dedicated LPG E-Gas powertrain is sold as a $2000 option, while a $2000 government grant from the LPG Vehicle Scheme is available to eligible customers purchasing a new LPG vehicle.
