It actually says a lot about Australian culture that Ford is held hostage by the long standing Falcon heritage,
the only way Ford is ever going to change its image and diversify its sales is to kill the Falcon's current image.

Sacrilege on this board I know but without a change of image, I fear Ford will ebb away...
Unfortunately I agree, and have done so for a number of years now....
