Default Could the Falcon be "shrunk"

We all know that all the experts are telling us that the Falcon has until 2016, then it is gone. These same experts are telling us that the main reason is because Australia has fallen out of love with large sedans.

Well I don't want to give up on all those Aussie jobs yet. I'm wondering if, with the Falcon going to the Ecoboost 4, would it be possible for Falcon to live on after 2016 as a shrunken model. No massive and expensive changes, just use the existing platform and shorten the front overhang (which has a lot of redundant space when the I6 is not being used) and shorten the rear overhang (cutting down the boot a bit). Turn a large car into a medium car and see what the punters make of it.
- Is it feasible?
- Would it look any good or would it look ridiculous?
- Would you buy a smaller Falcon if it still had the same interior size and still still handled well?
Maybe I have my head in the sand and am pi*****ing into the wind at the same time.
Over to you boys (and girls) - discuss.
