I am keeping the 300c luxury, as it has all the features and mod cons (don't make me list them out lol) and is super comfy and I personally love the look of it, if we need to transport more then 2 people, it would be in the 300c. by also keeping the 300c, it gives flexibility in the 2nd car, as practicability is covered. probably 85% of the time, each of our cars only have 1 person in them. plus been 6ft 5, the focus is not the most comfortable place for me.

Hell the when the time comes, we might decide on something completely different. but its crossed my mind, what would I go with... I am ford fan, I have always wanted to have a mustang and this will be our first joint car. but again, its the last falcon...

I'll be keeping the Chrysler til the Next Gen Dodge/Chrysler product hits Australia and hopefully a Charger/Challenger will make in it here in RHD officially.. Fingers crossed for next gen Hellcat.

there is no kids or anything in the future, so that's not a factor either... as I said, I could completely go a different direction when the times comes, but reading the new falcon section, I was like, which one will I go??? and also what will everyone else will go as a side thought, and their reasoning behind their decision.

SO the discussion is not just about my situation, but also what is going thru everyone's else mind that regarding probably the same decision, as I am sure I am not the only thinking about it.

so at the moment, its tyre kicking for sure... just thought I would open the floor up for an open discussion on the 2 vehicles.

Drive each first, and the one you feel more comfortable in is the one you should buy. For most, I think that will mean you buy an XR8 as the mustang is so small in comparison, and the yanks build funny looking cars compared to ours (they call them conservative, but I'd say their designers are mostly blind).

The V8 engines in either will put a smile on your dial, but from experience, there is nothing like the sound of that supercharger at WOT! (Just make sure you're in second if you plan to hit 6000rpm - that way you hit the rev limiter before you hit license losing speeds)
