Which of the following would you choose?

These are the two premier Australia made vehicles that are available Down Under. These two brands have created a fierce rivarly in the country similar to say, BMW vs. Mercedes Benz around the world. Both side are often oblivious to the other brand. My question to you is, tell which of these two vehicles would you choose if you were Australian and in buying in this market?

On the left is the Holden Commodore. On the right is the Ford Falcon.

Re: Which of the following would you choose?

I forgot to put a poll with this thread. If a moderator reads this by any chance could you please include the poll piting the two vehicles against each other. Thanks in advance.

Re: Which of the following would you choose?

I really like the new Falcon that said some design elements I'm unsure of.

Of course Falcon will have the safety, reliability and driveability but the Commodore design and execution seems more smoother.

FG Falcon is trying to be Euro and not Australian so Commodore gets the edge so far will vote after I have seen the FG at MIMS

Re: Which of the following would you choose?

Right now I wouldn't choose either of them because neither offers a diesel.
If they both had good V6 or even V8 diesels, then my choice would be the new Falcon.

I'm torn. I like the exterior of the Pontiac...uh...Holden, but I like the interior of the Ford.
