Fair enough. There seems to have been a lot of mis-representation & contradiction in the media lately (about ford & the falcon) so I guess it's not overly surprising. It almost seems like the Journalist in question is determined to try and justify the original story he published a week or so ago & is throwing anything he dig up as 'evidence'.
As far as I'm concerned, if Ford (globally) decide to bin the RWD architecture of the Aussie falcon, then they are potentially losing an opportunity to enhance the reputation they are building in regards to driving dynamics. It would be a great day to see a Mustang sitting on top of the falcon underpinnings...would make it a true all-round performance sedan (and would make this aussie, and I dare say many others, proud). Here's hoping anyway.
