Default Re: Have we come forward much in the last 12-15 years?

I tend to agree with the OP.
From a progressive point of view.

From XC to EF we received, EFI, OHC, unleaded engines, 4sp auto, coil sprung rear, plastic fuel cells, Climate control air, Air bags, cruise control, ABS, LPG, power mirrors, remote central locking, trip computers.
None of these things were available before this period in a Falcon.

Since EF we have received, DOHC, forced induction, VCT, semi auto, 5 and 6sp transmissions, IRS, Traction control, and a few gizmos which are evolutions of existing tech, ie; dual zone air, Bluetooth, DSC.

The last 18 years has been about refining/advancing the existing tech.
