(maybe that indicates how many stupid people are out there)Was that Falcon sales decreased, or Ford sales decreased? Big difference. I too thought that Falcon sales were going well.

Not to mention someone of my stature (I.e. big bas*ard) needs a friggin can opener to get in and out of them.Someone also mentioned the prado. I’m yet to come across a decent prado driver, they seem to be the vehicle of choice for the middle age generation that are yet to find that perfect volvo. Trent.

Trent.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>yeah, the centre mounted instruments I recon are just a novelty to snare female buyers, "I want that one cause it looks cool." But ours has put up with 17-20 year olds driving it for over 12 months, since they are so gutless you have to rev the ring out of them to get it to 60 and it hasnt been back for a waranty claim yet, except for a blown headlight, but my falcon has blown 4 in the same time. Clutch is getting a little funny now, but it does over 60,000 k's a year all city driving.Dazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy a Territory over the wagon anyday ... I suspect the Falcon wagon days are numbered ... especially after Ford wisely made a RWD Territory :banghead: Cheers, Jason.
