AWD Falcon. Yes it might get off the line faster. And there endeth the positives.

I'd give my coin in AWDriving it, for no dose to the guy doing QC on the line.

I know but it will look pretty similar. I highly doubt they will role out a front wheel drive falcon.

no need to be a downer on the idea EFSIX lol get excited it might happen

Falcon is already at the morgue, its just a matter of waiting for the funeral details (I personally can't see it lasting until 2016 with barely 1000 sales a month), Billion Dollar Baby is dying from a terminal disease named Cruze., Toyota is packing up its sh*t from Altona.

BP ultimate is around $1.70 a litre.

You want to tow sh*t buy a diesel dual cab or something.

Now for the haters.

It is unreasonable to compare modern FWD with 1986 Lasers, Focus RS anyone?

I took the plunge and downsized on a new Focus ST (XR5) last year trading my XR6T on it, I can't say I have ever regretted it or missed my Falcon despite the massive power and polar opposite differences between the two vehicles.

Sadly the Falcon never moved me, I can sit at work all day thinking about it, dying for the drive home in the Focus. It does nothing outstanding but rather everything well without falling apart while being the most engaging and character filled vehicle I've ever owned.

I thought I should just qualify my last paragraph.

I've never owned anything but Australian made rear drive 6 and 8 cylinder sedans and 1 wagon.

On its merits my German Focus despite being an arse dragger has it all over the big Aussie sedans, despite the fact you would tear me a new arse on a drag strip.

I'll leave that for vin diesel to live his life a quarter mile at a time!

I'll drive small cars if I'm the only one in the car but otherwise, I prefer large sedans.

I do towing about once a month and long trips with at least two mates, one of whom is 'large' and the other is tall and lanky like me so we all appreciate the extra space in a large sedan.

Plus, I hate sticking my foot in and hearing the little cars struggle. It's all personal preference.
