Sorry to sound like a broken record but the only thing that can save Ford is exports.
The next Falcon (assuming there is one) IMO ideally should be Ford's new global large car with the RHD version being manufactured here for RHD markets such as Australia, NZ, UK, South Africa etc while the LHD should be built in the US or Canada. Unfortunately however the Australian dollar has pretty much eroded that prospect for the forseeable future. One can also only question why the Territory is not sold in overseas markets considering how great it is.
If there is a new Falcon in 2015 and Ford go down the same path of building just for Australia then they have dug their own grave. 2015 is their last chance to get it right!
