Re: Revamping the Falcon

There is certainly a difference between those who want all the gizmo's and those who need/want a RWD car. Thats not to say those who want RWD dont want gizmo's but it seems practicality from the normal A-B stuff is important.
I guess my opinion is that I dont think its the actual engineering behind the falcon thats the problem. Its the appearance (even though it looks good) and bells and whistle that need addressing. Lets assume that the upcoming I4T, LiLPG and TDi Tezz take care or aid to fix the fuel consumption "issue". Marketing is needed behind that too.
One Ford in theory takes care of the bells and whistles, one would assume FG2 (in bits) will be the first sign of this, its not like they make a decision and we see an impact straight away..it will take a few years. (that goes for ANY company).
I also cant see how downsizing the falcon make it more attractive. If anything that would make matters worse. Whats the point in having a sedan in RWD format the same of the Mondeo when a large percentage of the people who buy them dont care which way its driven.
My mum has a new C240...its nice and all but I am telling you now rear room is RUBBISH...and once I get in the front and put the chair back you would struggle for comfort back there...
Which brings me back to sport/luxury...which also could be seen a Lincoln by another name?
