I agree, the last All-Aussie Falcon will be the one to get....F6 manual for me!!

Im yet to drive a convincing US made vehicle, but having said that, I haven't been able to get my mitts on the latest 'Vette or Cadillac, which by all accounts, are absolutely cracking drives!

The media stories mean nothing. It's all hype to make a headline. Time will tell what happens.

If they drop the Falcon and Expensive Daewoo stay the same, they will lose the ute market, probably Police other than the 4WD turbo versions (seen a cop in a Camry lately?), possibly the taxi market too. Add to that every one of us who wants to do burnouts in a RWD. I can't see them doing this.

It is simple, if they want a "World" car, then they have to compete in the world market. BMW and Merc are still 4 door rear drive and will stay that way, Ford will need a large 4 door RWD to compete if they want to get into Europe in the large car sector.

XR, I totally agree. Ford definitely need a RWD sedan for the world market, although I wouldn't mind if it was smaller, I;d love an Aurion sized Falcon if it meant less weight and better handling. Something slightly smaller would sell better in Europe too.

I can see Australia adopting Camry/Aurion taxis and cop cars if the Falcon gets axed. 2 weeks ago, I saw a Camry cop car in Circular Quay, I really should have taken a photo of it.
