Ford's next model Falcon, the XD, codenamed Project Blackwood, was introduced in 1979 and bore many external styling resemblances to the European Ford Granada, but was slightly larger and less luxurious. Improved body reinforcing allowed many reductions in component weight to be made, improving performance and braking. The Fairmont Ghia replaced the Fairmont GXL. Initially, quality and fuel consumption concerns dogged the XD, and in 1980 an alloy head improved the fuel economy of the ageing OHV six cylinder engine. Its model years run from 1979 to 1981.
