Absolutely no need to say it, and its not referenced at all in the rest of the article..is it so hard to have a piece on the Falcon where they dont lay the boot in...terds.

The end.
Kind of like BMW's. Fab car, screwed together well, and a price tag to match and then some. Value plummets like anything. Because BMW buyers don't buy second hand (except for the classics), so it has to marked to sell to someone.

But the resale value of Falcon's is lower than some Commodores depending on the model. But that's because most Australian's are ignorant morons.

Carsguide can not do an article about any Ford without finding some way to make it negative.

Whereas every article about a Holden strictly sticks to a postitive point.

It wasn't all that bad.. On the front page (which is actually the last page) they have a picture of a Falcon with the comment "See why the Falcon Ecoboost is the best family car on the markert" (or something close to that)..

Falcon would become instantly credible overnight to small car and small SUV owners.
Could and would be if they built it in China and imported it
