I don't think your point makes any sense, plus your last comment is ridiculous. It seems you're purchasing decisions are clouded by public opinion and stereotypes. The Falcon is still a world class car, which is easily comparable to similar spec Euro models, while having a much lower cost to purchase and maintain. Find a Euro sedan, which performs as well as the XR6T for even double the price. Euros are still performing worse in new car complaint surveys too. Ironic you say Falcon was once reliable, yet no more? Then say you'd go for a BMW, FAR from a known reliable brand.

Not my stereotype. It's the same as the very well expressed stereotype on the AFF about VN commodore drivers.

No where did I say Falcon is no longer reliable. What I did say is imported cars which were not known to be so reliable in past years now are of equal standard to cope with harsh Aussie conditions.

Why BMW? What else is there in a medium sized 2 door coupe that is rear wheel drive (135i)?
