If you remember the 1980’s, ford was doing to the market what Toyota has been doing for quite a while now, dominating. They had 23% of market, just like Toyota have now. Holden was on the verge of bankruptcy (bailed out by GM), and Toyota cars were a joke in the 80’s.
The XE/XF falcon was untouchable, against the VB/C/H/K/L commodores, most households second car was a Laser. Even the Telstar was very popular. I often wonder how and when they lost the plot from such a commanding position.
