Default Re: Ford assumes sole responsibility for FPV

I see this as good news towards the Falcons longevity. All Falcons and FPV's being built in the one factory should increase production efficiency and subsequently lower production costs which may be reflected in the rrp.

Sure it may mean that the FPV range may be squeezed down to its best sellers only, but it may also mean that FPV engineering may spread into the Falcon range. Example, GS and GTE dropped, but the XR8 returns and a G8E may be developed!

The merger seems to agree with the discussion on "One Ford" and the concept of Australia playing a vital role in the development of the global RWD platform. FPV could never export products or deal with the US, but FORD Oz can!

My 2 cents.
