The only thing i disliked about Goauto's article, is they continue to talk about front wheel drive falcon's past 2016 when they have no actual proof; apart from hear say; that this is going to happen. The other thing that irritates me about that subject, is, that talk bares no relevance to that article at all.
On another note, Fantastic to see Ford boosting falcon up, its about bloody time; and i love what they did at the motorshow this year. Fantastic effort all round, and look forward to getting to the Melbourne motorshow next year to see and possibly sample some of the latest offerings .

I hear at the Ford casting plant that they do not do 85 a day like is suggested, and in fact run a full shift just once a week or so on blocks and make a weeks worth in one batch, and the rest of the week is spent doing brake discs etc that are used on toyotas etc.
The ford casting plant is one of the only large scale steel casting plants left in Oz. |

I like your photo chop work but I don't like that, I hope the rear end doesn't look like that.

Maybe just with the bumper mounted tail lights to complement the FG tail lights as opposed to the whole Fudeo rear end. |

Being at the motor show and seeing the new Mondeo, I do hope they drop it when the Falcon is updated - it looks way too much like a Falcon competitor. Add the diesel to Falcon and the Mondeo features and get it back up to 2000 units a month.

If they want to speculate on what is or isn't coming in 2016-18, then do so in a separate article labelled "Falcon/Commodore Speculation, what does 2016 and beyond Hold?". But they have already consistently spoken at length on what they consider is going to happen, and they do not need to harp on about it, or bring a reasonable article down by including speculation that does not relate to what is happening in 2014. Finally, people need to remember that platforms are always being designed for the future, which could hold anything for us here in Australia. Until such time as Ford Australia or America formally announce what is actually happening with the Falcon, all speculation does, is plant seeds of doubt within peoples heads.
