So if the writing is apparently on the wall for the Falcon, as they seem to be saying, what is Ford going to make as way of a tribute to years of manufacturing in Australia? I'd like a retro styled XA GT hardtop.

I'd say their tribute is going to be some huge big parcels of land in Geelong and Campbelfield VIC.... Followed by plenty of new industrial/commercial factories popping up on their old site...
If the rumors are true of course...

Don't write off the old bird till the coffin is in the ground.
Falcon will live on! It has survived challenges before and will survive again.

The HO will either revive the brand, or become the limited edition model run everyone want's it to be by having the production run stopped in 2016....

HO should come late this year if I was running the show...why wait until your nearly out of business. Perhaps wait to see what HSV respond with then kick them in the balls.

Hows this for a final bang.
Build Australia's fastest 4 door sedan, leave everything else in its wake, then shut down the large car segment so noone can ever beat you and forever claim it as the greatest thing to ever leave the factory. Dejavu anyone...

While it sounds nice (actually not really because your talking about no more Falcon) Id rather see it around for longer than that.
HSV boys are hurting now power wise, its going to be gold once the wick is turned up.

Really don't want to start closing threads on the subject but I am personally just a little bit over the topic ...... bad enough to hear it everyday in the media but think there is enough discussions on the subject in the forums already and it has actually been confirmed that the Falcon will be around for some time yet. 1/2 glass full time ..........
