So, the Falcon is safe until 2016-2017 when it's 99% certain it and the Territory will be gone...

To me, this says they've given up already. Why wouldn't you try and get money out of the government if it was possible...?

Holden's chairman, Mike Devereux, has warned the government that reduced support will endanger continued investment by General Motors. But Mr Hinrichs said Ford would not follow a similar course of public lobbying or complaint.

Ford never plays nice with the Gov. To their credit they have paid back their depts to the giv here and in the US I believe.

To sell a third of the units the comodore does, and make a good profit is good work. Or raping us blind.

It says that they will Upgrade the current engines to meet the next lot of emmissions regulations, so I'm guessing there will be a MkIII with better fuel economy but with the major chassis and engine components unchanged. It (like the MkII) would likely have extra 'features' like auto dimming headlights, auto wipers, maybe an internal HDD for music, etc.
