It took me a few seconds to realise they'd replaced "Ford" with a Dodo on the logo I've only ever driven Ford's, even our work cars are Focus's.Hopefully they keep the I6T in whatever form the Falcon takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete A Member 442 Member For: 16y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill NSW Posted 07/03/11 04:38 AM Share Posted 07/03/11 04:38 AM I hire a lot of cars in my job. So I drive SV6's often, Camry and Aurions including Sportivo version , and XR6's (non T) My wifes got a Pug, Dsughter a Golf GTi. Brother has a Beamer 325 etc etc. The FG is a class act. Don't be fooled. The T just cannot be matched in that group. A "little" more attention to detail and the difference would be significant. Of that group the Toyotas are the most uninspiring heap of that I have ever driven and to be honest the SV6 is not far behind IMO. That standard engine is aweful and the stupid handbrake and boring interior. (haven't driven the latest one with the dangerous command centre or whatever they call it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 07/03/11 07:17 AM Share Posted 07/03/11 07:17 AM A classic example of why The Falcon sales are going down the sh*tter.Did anyone watch the Bathurst 12 hour ???? There was a new GT in it. Well I hope it was the new one. But anywho it came 13th. Not bad considering the opposition. And it had Porsches, Lotus's, Beewah's and other exotics behind it. And no GTS's in sight in the top twenty.Did Ford grab the ball and run with it.......... Not on your nelly. All I have seen on the TV is old 50th adds. And the run out adds. We can bag their spin doctors all we like. And they are the worst in the buis. But there are people above them who are meant to be the best at what they do. Does Ford even have a spin doctor dept. ??? I have a motoring Jurno as a customer. He writes for Motor and a Brisbane Paper. I've asked him what's happening with Ford. And why do you guys all bag them. He just laughs and shakes his head.I know how the system works. I have had a few awards and been written up in a few mags. And it cost me between $3,500 and $5,500 for the privilege. I did not know this before hand. Like they asked me. But that's how the system works. I did not like it at all. But you have to play by the games rules. Well if you want your business to survive you do.Fords holding yards are chock ablock full. And they only have themselves to blame. The place is run by pencil pushing, penny pinching, Prius driving *beep*'sDurka durka on all their heads. Blow them up and get someone with passion about cars in charge. A decent bloke who likes a beer and a track day instead of sniffing grannies undies and counting his change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fail, and badly. If you want a four, buy a f*cking buzz box. Lets just hope the T hangs around. Edited 07/03/11 07:42 AM by bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 4m 13d Posted 07/03/11 07:45 AM Share Posted 07/03/11 07:45 AM The reason the Late model camira v falcon sales figures are so one sided is that the Late model camira figure includes the sportswagon. Sedan vs sedan the falcon has come out on top on a number of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will crap all over the stupid 3.0lt Commy in every way. And I believe lift Fords fleets sales in a big way.If they keep the new Ford look across the range the new Terry should be included in the Falcon sales. But it wont...shame Edited 07/03/11 07:53 AM by XR09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ya didn't buy a XR50T over an SS at the time that would have been stupid IMO. The value was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're an Bogan special base with the 2K option (redline). They list for over 50k in the sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
