Thanks for the link. Those are some good looking vehicles. I really like the 73-76 XB version. That looks like a great Muscle car. Newer versions look nice as well. Who knows on the name though, never can tell what the Auto Exces are thinking here.

Anyway, You may be getting the Falcon marque back (Courtesy Of Us), As Ford Australia, Are looking a Copying General Motors Holden's idea, Of exporting the "Seventh Generation" falcon, Back to the parent company.
Not interested unless we have the straight-six turbo option.
Anyway, one shouldn't be too hard on the original Falcon since that's what gave birth to the Mustang.

Olds Achieva - it does not Achieve much - I know, mom has one.
Appropriate:
Mitsubishi Eclipse - all of the smoke from the tailpipe eclipses the sun! (The older ones anyway)
Dodge Shadow - the same thing... smoke causes shadows.
