Re: Tickford on the comeback??

Imagine if there had been a model which sat somewhere between the Falcon XR8 and the FTE range, and had a regular Falcon-style front end rather than the Tickford quad nose.
I have always considered that not everyone wanted the full-on sports look of the XR6/8, while the Falcon S was a bit underdone, and some people couldn't go up to the FTE range, so apparently Tickford-optioned Fairmont Ghias were also becoming a problem for XR6/8 sales.
If such an intermediate V8 model had been introduced, it would have been another spanner thrown into the works but perhaps might have satisfied an amount of buyers who otherwise turned to Holden.
