I love the Falcon with the Turbo 6 banger!!
It looks like a sweet car. Thing is, GM's got the cojones to offer the Holden Commodore here, and Ford's made no indication of ever giving us the Falcon. Same, because nicely-equipped Falcons could be the cornerstone of a Lincoln turnaround...
What do you expect? Ford and GM are (mostly) lost in North America....
I don't think GM is lost from a product perspective (I'm not touching relative economic health of various brands because I'm not a shareholder and I don't give a damn). I'm actually really liking GM at the moment. The Astra, Malibu, CTS, Acadia, G8, and Camaro all seem really good to me. I personally would buy an Astra over a current Civic. I'd take a new CTS over a new (or previous) TL, and that's despite a good history with three separate Honda models. I'd take a G8 over an Avalon or Maxima in a heartbeat. And my wife reeeeally likes the new Vue. And don't get me started about the next-gen 9-3. An Astra platform, turbocharged engine, hatchback body shape, and torque-vectoring AWD will make me go crazy if I focus on it too long.
Ford's done a good job of turning around their CR reliability ratings, but nothing in their lineup makes me say "damn, that's hot." That's a huge advantage GM has right now, I think, though I think Ford leads GM in CR reliability ratings.
Chrysler is bleeding out, and I'm not going to defend them.
EDIT: I just realized that I did an entire "I like GM" thread without once mentioning either the Corvette or the Volt. How about that?
