Ford FG Falcon wins second Car of the year Award

Ford's all-new FG Falcon has won two major Car of the Year awards - taking home the Best Large Car trophy in the Australia's Best Cars awards for 2008.

Regarded as Australia's most consumer-focused motoring awards, Australia's best Cars are presented by the Australian Automobile association on behalf of Australia's Motoring Clubs, which include NRMA Motoring & Services, RACV, RACQ, RAASA and RACT. Judging is based on a wide range of criteria across three main areas - value for money, design & function and on the road performance.The judges praised Ford for its sustained approach to product development and for building a world-class car with its FG Falcon range, saying "Ford
has made a major step forward with the FG model" and "Ford has brought Falcon back to class supremacy with its new FG range".
They also recognised its advancements in engine and suspension performance, "it is clearly the best handling car of the bunch and its
turbo six engine is an absolute ripper", along with Falcon's ability to deliver genuine real world fuel efficiency.

"Winning an Australia's Best Cars award is a fantastic achievement for the entire team at Ford Australia" Ford Australia President & CEO Marin Burela said. "The judges' recognition of the Falcon XT as the best large car on the market in Australia represents a resounding endorsement of the entire FG Falcon range."
