Default Re: Whats stopping people from buying the Falcon?

Back when the Commodore first came out, and for some time afterwoods, the general feeling was that the Commodore was a "drivers car" and the Falcon was your nice, staid, average "family car"...solid, dependable...but hardly exciting.
Perhaps that's linked to, as you say, the linking of the very recognisable Brock face to the brand for many years? Who did Ford use? A TV advert of Moffat,Bond, and some others standing there while an XC Falcon carved through witches hats behind him rolling like an oil tanker in a heavy sea? Haven't really seenany motor sport names linked to them in advertising since...
