Allright, commodore Vs. Falcon.

REMEMBER: This isn't Holden Vs. Ford, dont jsut say "I l1k3 t3h mU57@nG" and vote ford. It's the cars, not the brands.

Do we really need this? What's wrong with the Aussie Thread?

nothing, this thread is useless just continue it in the aussie thread

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 12 May 2005, 13:53

its a poll. and it is in the correct forum, thats the difference

Seems ok to me. Would rather have this little war out and on its own, rather than clogging up the Aussie thread. Easier to lock when things get nasty this way..

Falcon for me, btw.. I'm not necessarily a 'Ford man', but they have the better car right now.

^ thanks. Offtopic (aussie thread) isnt the place for car talks.

I have to vote Commmodore, cos it performs better, and looks nice.

If its your preference that it performs better, then its not fact, and therefore doesnt necessarily perform better.

The thing with performance figures, is that theres no real two ways about it. If youre after 0-60, then one is better than the other, if youre after mpg, then one is better than the other. There is no medium.

^ ALLRIGHT. to clarify my statement : i like my cars light.

HA! since when are Commodore's light? It's still a large car.

Falcon may be heavier, but it still PAWN3Z.

FALCON.... 100% of the way

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 08 Oct 2005, 11:06

How about I just clear all of this up right here, right now

actual fact..... (Motor and Wheels mags)

The Holden SS Commodore outgunned the Ford Falcon XR8... and even took the FPV GT down

You know, outright speed isn't really that important in a family car.

The Falcon is a nicer and smoother car to drive. Enough said.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 08 Oct 2005, 11:22

Enough said... maybe not

It wasnt just top speed. It took the falcons to school about cornering, only thing that it does lag in (which doesnt really matter) is the pick-up and go from a corner's apex... or the starting line

and as for comfortablilty... i would guess you have yet been in a commodore

Quite the contrary.

My dad owns a Falcon, and I have been in his workmates' Commodores many times.
Commos have slightly stiffer suspension, which doesn't really soak up bumps and ripples in the road. But that's what it corners a bit better. Also, Commodore seats are nothing compared to Falcon seats. Not to mention that the dash is much more ergonomic, and more pleasing to look at.

I'm guessing that you haven't sat in a Falcon.

reluctantly i say "yes" i have been in falcons.
... they both have their pro's and con's (main con for commo is the stiffer suspension)

Damn, good to see an old thread pop-up again

I hardly even remember which car I voted for five months ago.
But to be honest, I truly dislike it when people absolutely adore one car, and TOTALY hate the other (because of the minor differences in which separates the two). If one person has the opposite opinion, then it often turns into flame wars.

I love both Commmodores and Falcons, but I am hoping to see a Holden winning tomorrows Bathurst.
