And what about all the 4cyl fleet car possibilities Falcon is currently shut out from?

I cant believe Ford saw the booming Commodore wagon sales, coupled with the massive massive SUV market which are all wagons... Then looked across at the dead Mitsubishi 380 sedan, dead Ford Mondeo sedan and dying Maxima, Granduer and Accord sedans and thought 'Yep sedans are the future'

Trust me its the bodystyle not the engine killing Falcon.

Dont use Holden as an example there, they only got sportswagon approved on the back of promised US exports. That fell apart much like the Ute plan did and they'll struggle to get the 2017 wagon approved without exports.
