Could a partnership between Ford and Mazda be viable in Australia?
The Ranger & Mazda Utes are built from the same factory in Thailand, so why couldn't the same thing be done here to help lower development costs and help get LHD vehicles made? For example could the Territory and CX9 be built on the same platform? What would a Falcon look like Mazdadized and would Mazda USA like to have a RWD large sedan? Could Skyactiv Technology be used to get the I6 past the next Euro Standards and how much would it improve performance / economy? Falcon Ute - Endless possibilities for export. 4, 6 & 8 Cylinder and diesel options, many tray options. Easily adapted to different markets. Performance versions too. Would a partnership with Mazda be worse than shutting up manufacturing completely?
