I don't share that optimism. It seems the US is quite happy not having cars compromised attacking several markets but instead having individual models concentrating solely on a single target market. Selling well as a US model would be 20-40k sales a month like Fusion, Accord and Camry do and that would never happen. If the next platform for Taurus and Falcon favoured the RWD layout, they might still get 5k sales a month which as an export out of Broadmeadows would be great, but it's never going to happen like that and Falcon won't get a shot in the US so long as current gen Taurus is still there.
