it's certainly not a small car...

thats a big family sedan ;) Just happens to look awesome (IMO), and have a big V8 under the hood...

My grandma ownded a ford falcon.....and it didn't look nothin' like that!! :shocked:

Shoot, hers was cool, tho.......had a rusted out hole in the passenger side floorpan, so us kids would fight to sit up front, just so we could watch the road go by under the car!! :laugh:

Amazingly, grandma had enough sense back then to make us wear lap belts. No shoulder belts back then, sure as heck no air bags, and cars didn't have crumple zones. Man it's a wonder we ever survived!! :roll:

Ford Australia, is actually producing some nice vehicles. I am not a fan of the Ford (I prefer Holden), but what they coming out with, there is not much between the two.
