And in a pure stroke of genius on wheels part they made the Belina winner of the comparison (380,aurion,falcon all the trim up from base excluding falcon) despite the fact it had weaknesses all the other cars didn't have
But anyways base model cars are lighter it makes more sense to use them as a base for something that goes fast its the origonal concept of a muscle car! this is something that seems to be lost on people today.
Option up?? Different brands it's really not the same.
I'll tell you how it works.. Options options options and a base engine across the range.. Tell me would you be more upset if you bought a BF Fairmont Ghia and a XT BFII pulls up next to you with 6 speed and sports suspension and a bucket of money waving at you that it saved ??
The berlina was maybe the better drivers car nothing wrong with the aurion or BA-BF ride it's just they don't sit as well as the VE's do they are great on the road ni all conditions. And it's only weakness is not being able to option up a better engine and transmission. Unless you ad the 6lt and 6 speed.
My VP is still faster then the VE Base.
