kpcart - I would agree with your assessment of the expected performance from the turbo 4cyl Falcon. I can't see Falcon drivers accepting a 4cyl in the loved car - but a diesel, whilst different, is a not a <beep> 4 cylinder. Refer Commodore VB/VC range from 1980s - poor reception.
Falcon is a heavy car.
Mondeos, on the other hand, are different beasts altogether. No historical baggage to overcome re drivetrains.
Mondeo Diesel content >>> my old man is happy with his MC Titanium, says it pulls like a much bigger motor - 'woosh !!' he says (and he has owned at least 5 Falcons over the last 40 years, incl. 2 V8s).
Bring on the 4cyl EcoBoost s-o-o-n !!!
