Ford releases pricing for Falcon FG update

The XR6 will come with an 8.0-inch colour touch screen multimedia centre, USB integration, 18-inch alloy wheels, side curtain airbags, reverse sensing system and projector headlamps — and will now be priced from $39,990, a $3000 discount. Ford claims that XR6 buyers will be rewarded to the tune of $5650 in total.
