Default Re: Whats stopping people from buying the Falcon?

Its Mazda 3 not the 6.

What you need to think about is what benefit will there be in buying a Falcon over one of the smaller cars like a 3?

The small car has the same tech maybe more, better fuel economy, easier to drive around, quick enough for the street, can hold 5 people at a squeeze and is much cheaper to buy. The only reason you would buy a Falcon is maybe for towing or if you were regularly travelling with 5 people which wouldnt be often. Then in those cases you have the competition from a number of SUVs/4WDS/people movers.

Large sedans just dont have a purpose anymore. As everything keeps going up in cost they will probably disappear. Commodore may of finished 2nd but they are no where near the number of sales they used to make and they only have the Falcon and Aurion as competition in their segment.
