will ecoboost sales be included in falcon sales ( i assume yes)? given the camry is classed as a mid size car even though it is virtually the same as the 6cyl aurion, does this mean the ecoboost will be classed as a mid size car?

i'm guessing not but there's a few discrepancies in the way cars are classed now.

No, it's still a Falcon and the extra hip and shoulder room keeps it as a large car
although many will swear that it's probably now more like a large mid sized car...
Maybe this Falcon goes poaching out of season.....

10L/100km may be realistic for urban, but if the 6cyl can achieve 8L/100km on the highway (fully loaded 4 people and luggage mine did 7.9) i'd think the ecoboost will be well below 10 for extra urban.

7.9L/100km? 800+ out of a tank? 4 people with luggage?

I dont believe you.

Nothing odd about that figure...last time we went to Emerald there was me and the missus, our son and his wife, the grandson in his car seat, and a boot full of a months shopping on the way home, and we were getting under 8ltr/100km sitting on 100kph with the cruise control on.

Very Realistic.

Last year I travelled from Sydney to Melbourne in my BF (6 Speed ZF) with 4 adults and the car fully loaded. Travelled at 110+ most of the way and also had to commute 1 hour in Sydney peak hour and 30 minutes around Melbourne. Average was 7.9L per 100km for the total trip with 800km out of the tank.

My old gen 3 5.7 Berlina got 7.9 on the highway. As soon as you hit a red light though, the average fuel consumption started climbing rapidly. 13.3 average, 15-16 city? I would imagine the 2.0 GTDI would not be so bipolar.

you do realise that table in that link is quoting combined figures don't you! official extra urban figure from ford is about 7.5 from memory and as evidenced by other members, is not entirely unrealistic.

On a side note, I checked out the fuel economy figures for TCDI Territory Vs previous LV Focus 2.0 Auto.
Urban, Extra Urban and Combined are almost identical, what a brilliant outcome.
