Cars like Falcon and Commodore are really dying the death of a thousand cuts,
Ford could put a Falcon sized body on the next Fusion/Mondeo and gain huge
improvements in fuel economy without being tapped out by development costs.
The big hurdle is that Thailand is so cheap to manufacture cars and SUVs....




With sales the way they are, why on earth would Ford be even thinking about updates beyond SZ Terry or FG II Falcon?

Big decisions coming....

I'd bet if there was something it would be CD4 sedan / wagon and a CD4 based SUV - IF the investment can be justified ...
