“whereas the Falcon was just a cheap set of wheels.”

A cheap set of wheels that notoriously disappeared Argentinian activists.



I don’t understand the reference, can you elaborate?


They were the vehicle of choice for Argentinian death squads: https://www.reuters.com/article/argentina-dictatorship-falco...


Outside of the US, the Falcon continued to be mass-produced in a number of international markets (and in some, like Australia, became wildly popular) and one of those markets was Argentina where it was used by both the police and paramilitary death squads which I assume is what the reference was to.
