Ford FalconAU Falcon Forte and Futura1 Sep 1998  The curvy AU sported an all-new body and interior, heavily revised drivetrain, recalibrated coil spring suspension, optional independent rear suspension (IRS), extra standard features, greater refinement and much improved dynamics. The auto-only base 157kW/357Nm 4.0L I6 was completely overhauled, and considerably quieter and more efficient for it. But in spite of such advances, the futuristic, oval styling divided opinions, as did the GLi-replacing Forte’s vertical grille. Many were substituted with the '99 AU utility’s egg-crate item. Falcon sales dovetailed. Ford retaliated by lowering the ride height and improving the brakes, and then wheeled out endless value-added specials, but to little effect. A better fate was deserved. The boxy wagon continued with leaf-spring rear suspension. New standard features: air-conditioning, remote central locking, steering wheel audio controls, immobiliser. Engine options: 175kW/395Nm 5.0L V8. Special editions:· Oct 99 – Classic sedan: dual front airbags, ABS brakes, alloy wheels, cruise control, power front windows, egg-crate grille, special paint, rear spoiler, decals. |
