Don't believe what you read then, all the wagons R&D costs were covered long ago and the profit levels are higher than they are in any other Falcon.

They have already said they won't make an FG wagon.

The BFIII wagon is holding its own. Very large and practical vehicle. Sure it does not have IRS or a sports version like the Commodore but in Fords eyes and more importantly the consumer, that is not the point of a wagon. It is the ability to carry a load securely otherwise people would by a ute.

Even the Mondeo wagon has more boot space versus a Commodore wagon.

Mondeo has a luggage capacity of 1005 litres with the rear passangers seats upright and 2163 litres with the seats folded flat.

Commodore has 895 / 2000 litres respectively.

BFIII Falcon 1260 / 2584 litres respectively.

That extra boot space is a very large (pun intended) selling point for Ford. Plus they do not need to advertise the wagon as everyone knows its capabilities saving Ford money.
