Did you notice, the Camaro is gonna be an Aussie? How's that gonna sit with the die-hard Camaro dudes? Just another GTO flop, perhaps? :(

This was posted recently regarding an Edmund's review of this platform. Doesn't sound too great, compared to the Holden.

If you read the end of the Edmunds article, where Ford is planning some "changes" to the front end/suspension, this could also be to strengthen it for US importation/safety/LHD requirements. I think its a nice car and with new mileage requirements, I do think the CV/GM/Town Car days are now numbered.

I know of one Aussie Falcon that has been spotted here in the Metro Detroit area sans camo. Recently me and my wife spotted a red Falcon in Westland turning into a condo complex. Had Ford manufacturer plates on it and the accompanied testing equipment. Take of it what you will.

And no, I don't think the concept Camaro was Aussie.

If the American Falcon is anything like the Aussie version, I'll buy one in a few years. Boss 330, 6 speed, and great handling with 4 doors.
