Depends what your after, If your after outright speed and "track" ability id have to go with the Falcon i have a TRD aurion, and i must say how many people say it has to much power for a front wheel drive car is a bit of a joke, it puts the power down amazingly well for being Front wheel drive ive owned a lot of powerful front wheel drive cars, the TRD puts it down very easy, if you think it has to much power, your just too soft lol I owned a BA Xr6 in the past, it was a good car, quite heavy on fuel, much much much heavier then magazines and ford quoted, and it wasnt driven hard, just work and home, they're not great with stop start driving Also have had v8 commodores, the falcon NA xr6 returned similar figures on fuel to those. although the new falcon is apparently improved straight sixes are always known to be thirsty aurion uses alot less fuel, but 98 ron though :( i assume the FG uses 95 build quality wise they are both pretty similar, the falcons are decent but have never been known well to hold up over time, and ive had experience with a number of falcons, its a bit to early to tell how the FG will go. Also i have heard the G6E doesnt have an LSD? not sure i can believe that? Would seem a bit crazy for ford to not include one either way, both are great cars to drive, and if you drive them at 80% of there ability they wont be all that different either, The TRD aurion can handle suprisingly well, the soft steering is the only negative i have with the car, even the FWD isnt to much of a bother :) If i could see myself owning another ford, id probably go with the ford. just had to many in the past with to many finnicky small issues, power window dramas, rattles, creeks, etc hopefully the fg is a step in the right direction, it definately looks the goods :) I must also ad, Toyota are pretty damn flexible with the pricing on TRD aurions as they arent selling that well I doubt ford would be flexible with it being such a new car, so make sure if you decide to look closely at the TRD you negotiate the best price
