That's cause for concern at the very least.

the ba was the same on its release. won every review, car of the year, more economical etc etc and yet only ever managed to pip commodore for 2 months non consecutive and neither of those months was close to its release.

falcon is undoubtedly the best aussie car going around at the moment but that doesn't always mean its the favourite.
