It seems that the most popular non 4wd tug, & oldest continuous car model may be
dead in 6 months. Although Ford wont admit this yet,the decision will be made at that time.The mail is that production will cease as sales are at the lowest ever
point & still falling. The favoured replacement is an imported Taurus & it is FWD.
While I have never owned a Falcon it is sad to think it may soon be gone. This Taurus
thing wont replace it, & has been a sales failure in Oz.. The biggest downside will be
the associated job losses, not only in assembly plants but in all component industries.
What happens to V8 Supercars ? Could import the Mustang I suppose. If you are a
dedicated Falcon fan, it may be time to watch carefully & update before they are
history, & then care for it to ensure long life...........oldbaz.
