I read on AUS websites that the 2003 BA Falcon is eagerlay anticipated, since the one shown in the above pics is selling poorly. Aussies don't like the "Taurus look" and it bombed. The Holden Commodore (Caddy Catera) is hte #1 car Down Under. So, Ford AUS is fighting back.
The Commodore is not a fuggin' Cadilac Catera. How many times does this have to be said!?
And the Ford Falcon is not a Mondeo/Contour either.
The Catera is an Opel Omega and is WAAAYYYYY smaller than a Commodore. Wait an see the Pontiac GTO (aka the Holden Monaro GTO) when it gets here. It's almost the same length as the 4-door Commodores (within an inch or so) and you'll see it is a much larger car that shares ABSOLUTLETY nothing with the Catera.
Sorry to rant but I hate reading BS on this forum, especially when it's about stuff from my home, Australia - no offence.
