My comparison was to B-series Falcons, which I agree are not a bad steerer either. However if the Falcon setup was better why would Ford have designed a virtual pivot front end (similar to the Territory) for the next generation of Falcons, the FG/FGX?

Correct. They are also more correctly described as a crossover (car derived) rather than a SUV (light truck/pickup derived) which brings with it the dynamic benefits mentioned.

Lets just celebrate both the Falcon and the Territory and be proud we had such great vehicles designed and manufactured here.
