I'd take a guess and say a 10 year old ST170 focus or GTi6 306 will run rings around this thing.
I suppose young chicks will buy them, until the styling dates in 3 years time.
Maybe I don't want something Falcon sized as my daily driver? Probably the reason why I've had a 2009 Fiesta and 2010 Focus?

My TDCI Focus would probably run rings around it too considering it has the same power, but nearly 200nm more torque, but my Focus doesn't have a 7" LCD screen, 6 speaker stereo with sub all powered by an amp, a sunroof, reverse camera etc.

I might actually be able to fit my legs between the steering wheel and the seat in this, unlike the Falcon.

If the Falcon was THAT great, I'm sure it'd sell more than 19,000 cars a year.

I have to test drive it though, I know I'll miss the torque of the Focus and that will be a big decider for me, theres only so much that tech gadgets can win me over, it actually has to drive decently too.
