Perfect you say? By the time my right foot is on the accelerator the engine is fully functional ..... been like that in all the Falcon I have driven over the past 30 years! Never failed me yet.

Are these reason that people aren't buying the trusty old Falcon? Do people expect this type of technology in the family sub 38k market? Its great to say that Mercs have this BMW's have that etc but $ for $ are we expecting just a tad too much for the shopping trolley?
