I've been driving an fg ute around for the past month for a work car instead of the ranger. I have to say, I doubt I'd ever buy an fg as it is a bag of crap in my opinion, have driven a ve ute and took preferance to that which would be a first in a long line of models.
What I am getting at is yes I would buy a falcon if it was built overseas, as long as it isn't rubbish. |

Thats a no from me. The whole appeal of the falcon to me is that it is built in Australia. If production was moved overseas I'd quickly jump to the red side.

I voted yes, if Ford can provide a good quality car when I purchase next, it won't matter where it is made i'll buy it, else i go to another make.

I don't think Toyota suffered any noticeable leakage to Falcon or Commodore, when they replaced it with the front wheel Vienta though. |

Falcon RTV - FG G6ET

I voted "No", simply because we'd finish up with some re-badged yankmobile FWD or a Euro squeeze box FWD.
I could drive neither. Not interested in taking my life in my hands in a fwd anything in fact. Ford US have tried to dump all their rubbish here before & they didn't sell, matter of fact all that did sell was the Effies. As for the Euro squeeze boxes, the roads I like to drive on would kill them in a day.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
