Ford have invested heavily into the territory platform instead of the crappy selling LWB sedans, you cant have everything in such a small marketplace

Its funny how people expect ford to keep a model even when it looses them a heap of money, simply because we have always had it. Get over it, if it doesn't sell then get rid of it, simple. The more investment ford does for the model the more it has to recoup, which it cant is such a small market, so you cant just say, "make it better", anyone with basic business sense would realise this.

Well said. I totally agree. If one market is segment dying, start another one. I think Tezza has appealed to alot of would be LWB buyers. And after 3 years without any facelift it still looks fresh and is selling solidly.
Ford is about making money first (hence the Territory) and I'm sure the LWB will make a comeback. Just like the V8 did. Better not be half baked though. They should make it a ZD retro... In my dreams.
My guess, like others have stated, would be an import would replace it.
