Seriously though, "the world" won't notice if a small branch of the massive organisation that is Ford stops making a small number of cars.

The problem with resale value is that Falcons (and Commodores) are just, well, Falcons and commodores. They're common, they're made in bit (for Australia) numbers, and a lot or people have been sadly disappointed when they go to trade it in. We got an astounding trade in for our Landcruiser...but we're under no illusions that when we trade in our G6E, it will get an offer something like the Redbook trade in price of less than half it,s original value.
Unless you have something truly unusual, a Falcon won't appreciate in value, especially not just because they might stop making them. Good as they are, even the FPV's, they're hardly awesomly high standard rare exotica...

The problem is not how well the cars are or aren't built...it's how they're built. A car restorer once said in a magazine interview some years ago that guys asking for restoration work on cars from even as recently as the early 1990's were in for a very nasty shock when they got the quote...mainly because of all the plastic mouldings. The philosophy was "If a man made it, a man can fix it easily".

I beg to differ. I think if the falcon stops getting made they will be more sort after and collectible by enthusiasts.
