Turbo falcons are indeed old news.... HOWEVER...
As the driver of a brand spanker of a BA XR6 Turbo... the new Falcon Turbo ain't no one-off job.
It whips the pants off my 3TGTE TA22, even through the corners and under brakes. (OK OK, I know - the quest is now on to beat the XR in the '22... anyone got a stronger gearbox, drive shaft and diff for me? *grin*)
240kw and the torque table the new turbo 6 has from the factory is the best stockie 6 cylinder I have seen. This side of a $150k BMW M3 that is... 
The ford donk has twin cams, dual infinitely variable VCT, intercooled T04 equivalent garrett BB turbo with thermo-siphon coolant circulation... this engine package is technologically a freakin fantastic piece of work.
Anyone in Canberra is welcome to come for a drive with me, and I guarantee you that it is a brilliant piece of engineering from Ford.
Sure, it's not as good as a M series BMW 6, but when you look at what Ford have done, it's pretty damn impressive.
</end Ford owners rant>
Hmm.. Unfortunately I can see the point of the "bogan" name being given to falcodores, but hey. Each to their own.
I gave up trying to choose between toyota and ford... i own both!
Cheerio!
