Ever thought the reason why ford is draging their feet on this, its because they are more interested in customers buying petrol gusling falcons as they are locally built.
To be honest I think ford has made a huge mistake with the falcon and focus. What they should have done is drop the falcon from being built here and started building local focus's. In the short term while some people still want a bigger car import the Mondeo. Should have taken a longer term view, the day of the big car is nearly over if not already.
Take a look at what is happening with Holden with cutting 1000 jobs in SA because demand is dropping.
We should be starting to gear up to building smaller cars in Australia and if ford had made this change first it might have hurt a little to begin with but would have won out big time in the end.
