Despite being produced on a tight budget, the 2008 Ford Falcon has earned the nod as New Zealand’s Car of the Year for its excellent performance handling, value for money and ease of operation.
The FG-series Falcon was one of nine finalists for this year’s New Zealand Car of the Year award, which is open to new models launched in New Zealand during the 12 months prior to 1 November 2008. The others were the Fiat 500, Honda Accord Euro, Hyundai i30, Jaguar XF, Mazda 6, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Forester and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Not many people are aware of the existence of the Ford Falcon, an economical car with home and quality finish that can appeal to any car critic today. Garnering the award is an achievement in itself and it certainly helps boost the Ford brand as well.
