Yes but they are both used Falcons correct?

Correct. However my buying of second hand falcons increases the demand side of supply/demand, in turn making resale stronger, in turn making falcon a more viable car. Also, my next car (within 12 months) will be a new falcon, indirectly because falcons are taxis.

funny how Toyota offered a Taxi pack yet Taxi's still went back to the Falcon.

I don't think there's any operators who went to Toyota then back to ford - most refuse to mess with success therefore sticking with Ford.

There you have it ladies and gentleman! better grab a AU Mark 6 wagon with e-gas before they all run out! hehe

Don't laugh, it will happen. If Ford kills the wagon, the mixer egas and the 4-speed simultaneously, the taxi industry will be crying into its coin dispensers.

They'll get used to it. After all, even though they hated when the EA2 had a 4 speed, some taxi operators still used 3 speeds in EA-ELs.
|
Yep, because for the extremely limited 100kmh stuff cabs do, the three speed was adequate, you could get 450-550k out of one instead of 350-450k, and cost $900 to overhaul not $1300.

Yeah the lack of a factory taxi pack hasn't stopped them, they just go to the Government fleet auctions and buy all the e-gas fleet cars.

imo if i had a choice between a petrol taxi pack and an egas, i'd be choosing the egas any day. The taxi packs were actually kinda bad, we'd purposely avoid them for our cabs because a hose-out interior is just plain bad. If you're paying $20 to get from the city to an inner city suburb, you don't wanna have worse seats than the bus.
