A sad day for FORD Australia

Those six-cylinder, four-door sedans have been displaced by smaller models," Dr Edwards said... ..."Around the world governments are … promoting smaller, more environmentally friendly vehicles," he said. "(The car makers) haven't made the decisions to produce cars that increasingly nobody wants, governments have."

I dunno if it just because I am naive, or over-optomistic. But I remember quite well the early 70's fuel scare. I was only a young'n, born in '68. Everyone was doing what people are doing now, and trading their big cars for smaller & more economical ones. My Dad was always under pressure from all sides to get rid of his Falcon & trade to a small car. He didn't, thank goodness. But then the trends turned, and big cars became popular again. If we stop producing these cars now, we will never get them back...

Hear Hear.
A new Ford Falcon can easily return fuel economy figures of 7-9L/100kms. As good as many 4cyl cars.
Ford is offering Fleet discounts to anyone in the country at the moment, and the employee discount has basically been doubled. Time to update the Falcon I think.
