Falcon's New Auto Box to be built In Australia?

[Paxton]

I missed the beginning of the Telecast this morning, and when I managed to get the TV on in the Bedroom (much to the Wife's Displeasure), Tom Gorman was unveiling the BF XR8, crapping on about the honor that it is to release two great cars over a number of years (The BA XR8 was released there by Uncle Goeff), when he moved on to the new Auto Box. He told about the fuel consumption, and then dropped the line that the new 6 Speed Auto was to be built in Australia. I was under the assumption that the Box was built in Germany and shipped here, however Ford and ZF must be expecting to sell quite a few of the new box to make the economies of scale possible. Maybe we need to read into this a bit more, and see that 'Project Orion' will be 6 Speed only.

Maybe I am just reading too much into it however, but atleast the 200 People that got laid off at BTR/ION have a place to go.
