A/W: Would you buy a Ford Falcon?

To me this has the same conservative styling "issue" that the Holden VF Commodore does, if you are expecting something more resembling a Charger.

These polls are usually a terrible barometer for estimating actual sales numbers, should Ford decide to import these (or manufacture them domestically). I think most people vote in terms of answering an alternate question, which is roughly "Is this car cool?" Not if they would (or COULD) actually buy it.

There is a little more to it than that I think. This is priced at 37K which is the base Camaro SS price now. The SS is 10K more. This has the same HP as the Camaro also, and the styling really isn't that bad on this. I don't really like the steering wheel on this but that is not a huge deal. Exterior wise, it isn't as badass looking as a Hellcat, but it isn't as subdued as the Cruze/SS styling.

They should replace the under selling Taurus with this and have the lineup be Focus, Fusion, Falcon. Having the Taurus be the "Full size" car is weird.

Wrong. There's another problem. It isn't "priced" at anything. Someone merely did a quick exchange rate calc. That's not how pricing (cross-market) actually works. It never works like that.

I see a Ford corporate front end. Nothing more.
