Bring Back The Taxi Pack?

[vztrt]

OH NO!!! They can't do that.

I know many will probably not like it. But the way Ford are going its not the best. Also as the line is set-up Falcons need to fill the gap for the Territory and as there is no Wagon they would need something.

So with the XT pretty much dead and the Falcon still is getting used highly as a taxi (at least in Melbourne and Sydney and Brisbane) why not set up a Taxi XT for the sale. Lower cost to keep the units ticking over, no real tech in it as its not really required also keep the outside bland in the true XT way. If the boot on the LPG system has actually been fixed it would be very temping.

Issues that I would see would be:
- Problems of units built as the old LPG tank took longer to get into the car then the petrol equivalent. But this was a much bigger issue back when they were making 550 units.
- The 6 speed auto may not be favoured due to repair cost, but then again the same could have been said about the old 4-speed when it came out.
- Peoples perception of the Falcon as a Taxi, most are out there now so I don't know how this is that big of an issue.

Positives:
- Keeping the line ticking will help keep production costs down and also unit costs of Falcons lower.
- Hopefully keeping most taxi's at XT's will keep them out of higher series models.
- Low cost to get the interior to a more taxi spec which means a lower risk money wise.

I'm sure that people will not like it and I know Ford wanted to go away from the "taxi image" but I don't see the taxi industry really moving away from them. Also it might at least push the numbers up to get the media off their back and justify a business case to keep it going.

What are people's thoughts?
