If I bought a Fairmont Ghia, I wouldn't mind a V8 though, but I think the current 6 is good enough anyway.

That's the point too, 99.9% of people who want extra performance want the whole deal i.e: XR6T or XR8.... or FPV.. not a "sleeper", and besides that Ford wouldnt offer the engine performance without the requirement of sports suspension and brakes too...
Also the idea of limiting the better/more powerful engines to XR/FPV is to entice you to spend more anyway.
