It is a fair bet to say tha current Falcon is quicker then all of the cars that outsell it.
Issue is body size and shape - namely large sedan - those are not in demand accross the board . Families have moved to SUVs (FORD Oz has a major player there) ,young and single, female and pensioners dont as a majority look for large sedans. Falcon might have some image issues but main reason for poor sales is that market has moved away from large sedan.
Solution - make it smaller ? It wont be a Falcon any more...

That's how the original US FALCON was done even the Fairlane downsized from the monster it was, the FALCON was a small car compared to all the big mother f... tanks of the day .

Ford should have done as HOLDEN did build the FOCUS alongside the FALCON on the assembly line. we love our FALCON but the writing was on the walol when the rumours about the falcon going & the FOCUS to be built over here, now wouldn't it have been better to have both world cars being built alongside eachother . plus the TERRA . HOLDEN outsmarted ford again & got oz gov. money to get the CRUZE built here??????????
