Yep , and there lies the biggest question ?
The Commodore is firmly fixed in Australian Culture now. It is the "peoples" car and the only way for the Falcon to dethrone it is for FORD to slash the price point on the bread and butter models ( XT , XR6 , G6 ).

It is blatently obvious that the Falc is a better engineered product. but it means b u g g e r all. The real test is in the way FORD market ( read brainwash ) the community at large about the benefits of Falcon ownership.

Its like fast food........everyone knows its bad for you, but everyone is happy to eat it. Most of the public obviously think that the Commodore..."is a little bit fancy "..........
