The Age: End of the road nears for Falcon

[Chopped]

"The best thing for Ford is to bring our scale and volume (to the market)," Mr Mulally said. "(Car makers) who make one vehicle, a different vehicle for one country, I think those days are gone, because you can't compete with the global companies, and Ford's going to be a powerhouse globally."

"Mr Mulally said the Taurus and other Fords sold in the United States would be be available in Australia."

"We also have some really good RWDs, like the Mustang. You can imagine another new platform, just like the Falcon, that's going to be RWD for Mustang, so you can imagine driving the One Ford we're going to have every one of those, and so there's no reason why we can't have it in Australia."

Doesn't sound very encouraging for Ford Aus.

Killing off the Falcon is the new Mitsu Adelaide closure story.
It will go on for over a decade before something actually happens...
It's been a good 5 years or so now that these rumours of Falcon copping the axe have been surfacing every six months or so.

No stress here...

Watched him being interviewed at the motor show early this morning. He made it clear his vision is based on Henry Ford's brand principles and that the company will be biasing production to the small car with "myford" fruit.
