Here's my current options for a mid to end 2014 buy. Currently have 2009 6T. I've delayed replacement for over a year already waiting to see what happens.

New Falcon skin XR8 or whatever variant on the V8 front happens. I'm not concerned about quality.

Wait another year for a Mustang.(if it comes at reasonable price this will the be preferred choice right now)

AMG A45 hot hatch. (man this is enticing. Probably next choice after the Mustang option)

Run-out current model FPV.

Rumour of a new RS Focus coming.

I think I've decided to keep the 6T anyway as I love it to death!

I don't think I'm the only one weighing up these sorts of options.

Do any of the larger companies or corporations (telstra/cba/nab etc.) lease the FPV's?

Reason for asking is that I jumped on my G6 as soon as the sales guy told me it was a Telstra car as I had heard for some years the they looked after the 'better' cars that they lease and considering that it was half the price of new at 27 months old, with 30k on the clock, I'm wondering if the 2 yr old - last (2014) fpv that companies lease - if they do - will be a good bargin

I can promise you the quality has not got worse. Infact, quality control has been stepped up now. Fact !!

Not good to hear but considering the low volume of FPV sales it is not a surprising decision.

I am predicting that we will not see any mechanical changes for the 2014 Falcon update. My guess is we will get an XR6T with an F6 spec 310kw IL6 and an equivalent spec car with the 335 5.0 V8.

I just hope that don't carry over the current MkII LE wheels and just paint them another shade of grey :|
