New Falcon         


Date: May 9, 2008 22:53

Saw one on the road today, trade plates heading for Ford at Strathpine.
It had G6E badge on the back.
The side reminded me of the Commodore, however the front and back has been
attacked with the Asian "Ugly Stick". The lights front and rear look
uglier than in the photos.

Yeah I am not crash hot on the new Falcon although the G6E Turbo looks
the best. It has a kind of Mondeoish look.

Went to the motorshow and it was hard to stand out from the old model
or commodore.
Think they are playing it safe.
I wish them the best of luck, but they don't have an export program
like Holdens to keep alive.

The best selling was the Hilux then Corolla then Commodore.
Toyota sell more than Ford & Holden combined last month and why either
one of them is not built in Australia got to ask Toyota Australia
about that.
Care of our free trade agreement with Thailand thats a flop in the
last year.
