All high end cars have projector lamps. Even some of the earlier falcons had them. ED/EF/EL XR6's also the NC fairlane. Why do none of the most recent falcons have them. All high end holdens do.
Makes the fords seem like crap in comparison. |

I disagree that the absence of projector lamps "makes the Fords seem like crap in comparison", HOWEVER, I do think that they should have them in the high end versions.
Let's look at the flip side: I think the indicators in the mirrors of high end versions look great. Holden, even HSV, don't have these. That's the same sort of "no-brainer" comparison. What I don't understand is why Ford would place orange side indicators on the low end Territories. Another brain fade.

Yes, because the true measure of a car should be by its headlights.
Seriously, they were probably in the program originally (like a bunch of other stuff) but cut later on for cost reasons or to save features for the next series.

I think the Falcon should definitely have projectors and hopefully FG2 does this. |

They're coming.
That being said, I have projector lamps on my EF, and they are crap. My BF has normal sealed beam lights, and they are brighter than the EF at high beam.
