And it won't be a replacement for Falcon, it can never replace it, but large cars are reducing to next to nothing in terms of volume and medium cars are taking over from them. And Mondeo is just about as big as Falcon anyway. I know its not the same but if it keeps the line going at Broadmeadows its better than nothing.

To be fair the medium segment has only overtaken the large car segment due to the decline of large cars. The market share for medium cars has stayed fairly steady for the past decade. Small/light cars, SUV's and 4x4 utes is where its at. I can't see how local production of Mondeo all of a sudden boosts sales to where it needs to be. Anything over 600 sales/month is a good month in the medium segment if you aren't Camry.

It's a pity we couldn't have had Ranger instead of Thailand.
