What I want to know is why the love? What truly does the Mustang have over the falcon?

2 doors is once again what it has under the falcon.

Call me a bogan, but I feel the Falcon is a better car. Far more rounded for Australia. And I doubt it would have sold anywhere near as popular if called something else other than mustang.

And on top of that, it is apparently unsafe.

It just looks and feels like it's fad more than anything to own a Mustang (at least the new ones) just jumping on the popular bandwagon, without actually thinking about it & making an educated decision.



As we know, not all Fords are created equal.....

That's my opinion, flame away.
What are you smoking? Why the need to compare to an obsolete four door sedan? They're completely two different cars that more often than not have different buyers and are bought for different purposes. The mustang never contributed to the Falcons demise. The rise of the double cab ute and SUV did, as well as people like yourself who hold onto old bangers instead of upgrading for new.

A two door coupe isnt everyone's cuppa tea but Id have thought motoring enthusiasts would be grateful Ford are the only company to offer old school muscle with a real gear box at a relatively affordable price. you want a similar car with performance to match then you will need six figures and something out of Europe.

More rounded for Australia you reckon, what a joke, I recently drove Port Hedland-Newman-Nulligine-Marble Bar-PHE with about 250km of that dirt. Your well rounded for Oz Falcon wouldn't stand a **** show on those roads with the rain that has hit over the past six months.
