Talking Question about your Falcons....

I've recently seen videos of your Falcons in action and I'm quite impressed! Jealous, actually!

In America, buying a Ford car isn't the most exciting option (of course the due exception being the Mustang and the V6 Fusion is good for what it is) the other Ford cars leave much to be desired. The small car offering is the Focus, but not the one that is offered in your country, the US version is akward and there's no turbo version. The next one up is the Fusion, it's pretty nice and the Duratec V6 models can move quite well. Next up though is the fullsize, it was called the 500, now they call it a Taurus. This was the gamble that Ford lost, it was bland and underpowered. When it came out, nobody paid attention. They changed the name and people yawned. Also quite a bore to drive. The Crown Victoria is Ford's largest car and is fleet only, this RWD can only be bought new to police and taxi agencies.

My question is, how do people like their Falcons down there? Are they well assembled and how are they to drive? I was just curious.....

Also too, are they available to rent if one was making a trip to Australia?

Ford and Holden are the two big brand names down here.

The Falcon is not a bad car as long as you get an XR if you are going to hire one

They are just fantastic to drive, This is my 2003 Work Utility, it has the 5.4 3 valve engine and is 230 kw (307hP) LSD diff and 4 speed auto, It has 125000ks (78000miles) and I am thinking of trading it in for the Boss Quad cam 290 kw (435 hp) XR8
