Did it really though? EF was market leader a generation later. It was the poorly recieved looks of the AU that did more damage.

And in reality the V8 was only gone 8 years, and DJ was still holding the Ford flag high on the track.

Ford was doing so well during this period it almost sank Holden. Only the GM bail out saved them from bankruptcy.
