Most BA-BF Falcon cabs down in Vic are e-gas ex fleet cars. There's a few Territory taxis in Melbourne amongst other varieties as mentioned in previous posts.

Sometimes I think the taxi pack was dropped due to improving production line complexity rather than any actual lowering of sales. The taxi pack may have also been dropped due to Ford not wanting passengers associating Falcons with vinyl seat and rubber floored vehicles.

Remember Australia's population is increasing 400,000 a year, the taxi market out there will always be pretty sizeable.
