Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 5m 30d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 19/12/12 07:58 AM Share Posted 19/12/12 07:58 AM I guess some cold hards are in order. In the main, most people think the FG blows. How else could you explain that such a good engine package sells at 50% of its main rival with a dinosaur pushrod clunker? Through all the talk of HSV's over the top styling etc, the bottom line is, FG falcon's styling is just too boring. Throw into the mix FPV's dumb decisions like povo brakes on the GS without a brembo option, skinny rubbber on the rear (except for new Rspec) and you start to see why people have brushed them. The FG looks too soft for most and the gun engine came too late. Lets just hope the parts bin gets better used from here on until Falcon is dead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEOs come and go at Ford and the same chit decisions seem to repeat themselves. Must be really hard on staff also - the ones that still have jobs that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Bf pursuit ute and think it's styling looks more aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I waaaay to slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
