Righto I'm a bike man totally unbiased to cars dont think they got bang for buck, but ive just traded my ve Bogan special ute on a 2013 xr6 turbo ute, the suspension is better in the falcon, the power is heaps better feeling, wheel spins into 3rd no worries fully stock, the falcon interior functionality is second to none, but the doesnt pack the throaty noise that the 6.0L v8 makes through the cab. I think value for money is much better with the falcon I went in totally unbiassed, and drove a sh*t tin of new utes, incl the clubby's etc settled with the lux pack xr6t manual - Im happy, as long as you dont want to mod the car because will kill warrenty - Hope that helps
