For the first time, i'm starting to believe that the Falcon has a very limited lifespan...at least in it's current form. We can call be assured that this is the last 100% Australian Falcon, with the US engine due in 2010. They way the world is thinking and buying, the next option to keep Falcon alive is FWD. This will be the next global platform, as it allows lower fuel consumption and more room, Ford as a global company have no other choice.
With the Focus to be built here from 2011, it seems that Tom Gorman just might have been onto something before he left. If this all works out, it seems as if Falcon will eventually die, and the Focus will become the new prime seller for Ford Aus....time will tell http://www.carsales.com.au/car-review/2981357.aspx Potential for the C Platform and Focus in Australia http://www.carsales.com.au/car-review/2979507.aspx The Future for GM and Ford in Australia based on current sales
