Staff, Wednesday December 10, 2003.

The Fairlane G220 was a runaway winner of the Prestige category, scoring 13 out of a possible 18 votes.
"The Fairlane G220 performed excellently, backed up by outstanding interior appointments and a drive train, a la BA Falcon, that is so refined you could be forgiven for thinking you are driving a European prestige car," said Courier-Mail Motoring writer Gordon Lomas.
One of the judges summed up the Fairlane G220 as being "much more quiet and comfortable than the others".
Ford Australia President Geoff Polites said the Courier-Mail award was recognition of the efforts of the team at Ford.
"Ford invented this category with the ZA Fairlane in 1967 and the BA Fairlane is everything an Australian prestige car should be.
"The stylish new exterior, feature-laden interior, new engines and the superb handling traits of the Control Blade IRS all combine to produce a winning formula," Polites said.
The Courier-Mail Prestige Car of the Year award for the Fairlane G220 follows hot on the heels of the Best Family Car, in Australia's Best Car Awards, for Falcon XT.
