Replacing, or just filling a gap?
Once upon a time, Ford and Holden factories produced and sold small and large cars.
Ford had the Falcon and Cortina
Holden the Kingswood and Torana.
Seems like a logical thing to do - produce two different size models, to take advantage of differing sales markets.
Holden do it on the same production line - Commodore and Cruze.
Ford are doing it with the Falcon and Territory. Would have been nice if Ford snared the Focus, before Thailand grabbed it and the $500 million dollar factory upgrade.
