Now that the FGX falcon has been revealed is it enough to send off the ford falcon ? Will it be remembered as the Falcosaurus? Brutal performance in a bare bones package?
We know the xr6t and xr8 offer brutal performance but it's also unchanged from fg... (GT / xr6t / xt) The FGX is a pretty decent looking car but isn't it just a fg in a new frock? The interior looks pretty much the same as fg It seems that FGX is more about value for money rather than anything new to chew on. Obviously the xr8 is a cracker of a car for the money but it's just really all the leftover GT bits from fg at a bargain price. Many of the reviews say its a cracking car for the money but it's low on gadgets and modern comforts that other car makers boast about. I've even read the term Falcosaurus a few times. It's almost like the FGX falcon is a muscle car, big performance and bare bones equipment (relative to other new cars). Has the falcon always been behind on technology? Is the last car actually consistent with the flavour of the falcon of years past? Big rugged powerful car, spacious, good value, reliable but nothing innovative or revolutionary? Is the term Falcosaurus appropriate? |
