the future plan is to transfer it to Fusion platform so that it adds sales to the +20,000 vehicles there. Closing down CV production shifts police sales to continuing Taurus/Explorer PI vehicles and eliminates production capacity and workforce, improving Ford's return before a new PI is sold. Quote:

Just think though, if XF was the highest selling Falcon ever, and Ford were still looking to replace it, just think what they must be thinking now that Falcons sales are now a fraction of what the XF's were. There's no future with such pitiful sales. |

Its the reality man, its pretty clear isn't it. I know not everyone wants to hear it but its just about rock bottom now. The sooner we except whats coming the better I think.
Do you think a company that was serious about saving their product would not bother advertising it. I'm sick to death of having to use leave all the time to cover my wages for down days because this damn company puts zero effort into selling their product. Its a joke. You can't seriously believe Ford are going to invest another half a billion dollars here to sell less than 1000 cars a month do you? I've even been told that even though there are only 14 working days next month Ford are still going to be running down days. I'd imagine Falcon will sell less than 900 this month and next month. |

around November 2010 to June last year but never really announced it in the press.. So back then, Ford controlled production costs and stock levels until the excess XR6s were sold down. Don't forget either that before Cruze production began, Holden had its two shifts in Elizabeth on half work-half pay because they couldn't afford redundancy payouts on top of the +$200 million Pontiac G8 write off..... Companies do what they must to control costs and get by.. |
