Re: Aussie FG Falcon Performance Test Results

This picture is going around the internet about this vehicle potentially being the 2010 Taurus. See anything that looks similar?

Yeh, definatley closer to the Mondeo than the Falcon. They are all based open Fords kinetic design strategy at the moment so there will be similarities across the range

Lets look at the two side by side



Hmm,maybe the bonnet bulge, but i can't say much else...
that what i thought of when i firts looked at it.

Re: Aussie FG Falcon Performance Test Results

in the end, they're great cars!! Performance and looks. They're well equiped and priced too. The XR6 Turbo and XR8 are both AUD$45,490 which is cheap for the performance you get!!
