1. Spare parts everywhere and cheap as chips.
2. Most mechanics can fix quickly and easily.
3. Cheap to buy new.
4. Cheap to buy second hand.
5. Full sized and not some shoebox
6. Plenty of performance variants

I just don't get it
Australia is soo multicultural that there is a complete lack of patriotism. People don't care to buy Australian, all they care is about saving a few $$$ and if Australian jobs are on the line so be it. My family did their part to support the Falcon over the years and Australian jobs but the majority of the country did not. Every Falcon we have owned has been awesome and i don't see myself ever driving anything else! Long live the Ford Falcon!
