Default The AU orphan ..

Is it just me or is anyone else "disappointed" that Ford basically divorced itself from the AU like an illegitimate bastard son and concentrated on the muched-loved BA? Basically where I'm heading is that the AU is a one-series-wonder. It is the first and last in the A-series Falcon. What would have happened to Ford Australia had they done this with every model they had issues with? No more X-series after frontends falling out of XKs. No more E-series after EAs blowing head gaskets? Kind of puts a bad taste in my mouth that Ford didn't bother trying to "fix" perceptions, but rather cut-and-run. Like as if they didn't have the professional ability to finish as job that they started ..

BTW: I like my AU. I think it is a worthy predecessor to the AB .. sorry .. BA.
