I think if we're going to compare it directly against its competition, head to head, hard and fast, as a completely neutral consumer then yes, we're going to have some somber conversations..

Bob Graziano is even on record as conceding this as far back as last year, so there shouldn't have been an expectation of "winning" that battle.

But, I think its an unfair comparison from a Ford enthusiasts perspective given the reasons why Falcon is what it is....

One of Falcons strengths is its engines. Their FI offerings are world class and unrivaled in their price points.

As we know though, given the changing world we're being forced into people are now buying less on outright performance and more on features, appointments and styling, even in the performance segment.

That focus has shifted progressively in line with falling sales of RWD sedans.

The irony in all of this is had the Coyote/Miami double been available in 2005 we might have seen Holden falling over first....

Is the FGX range the best Falcon ever relative to the others? IMO Yes.

Is FGX the best RWD Sedan ever produced in Australia...?

That's a completely different question....
I didn't say it was the only premise. There are arguments that could be made that would put it right up the top when it comes to "best ever".

Bob is talking about content, I'm not fussed with that. I don't need power up windows. Content, like aesthetics can also be subjective. My only concern is the direction they took with the exterior.
