Default Re: Whats stopping people from buying the Falcon?

Bought a new car 12 months ago, it wasnt a Falcon, purchase was based on below.

Price = 20k brand new drive away for a mid size car
Warranty = 5 years unlimited km
Fuel Economy = 7 litres per 100kms avg
Performance = Acceptable, exceeds expectations
Safety Rating = 4 star, side airbags inc, would have preffered 5 star
Appearance = Reasonably well styled
Dealer Experience = Very good, business like and courteous
Ongoing Service Costs = Minimal
Reliability = Excellent
Functionality = Ideal for family and work use, seats 5 (3 teenagers, 2 adults) in reasonable comfort

If I could buy a new XR6 with similiar warranty at 23k then I would have considered it, but warranty and buy price were not competetive. Yes the Falcon is a larger car with a better safety rating but I was prepared to compromise on those points.
