Falcon is a world class car & would sell in many other countrys.
The yank cops have just dropped the long serving crown vic, & is importing Bomadoors from here for HWP use.
Just imagine how they'd like an XR6T for HWP use???
Ford Aust need to sell our product to other places. You cant say an G6Et, GT, F6 is not on par with other cars from other parts of the world???
In fact we stack up very well. The now defunked F6X beat all commers,[X5 bmw, Volvo, Range Rover, etc] in a test a couple of years ago. Value for money Im sure the rest of the Falcon range would do the same

Spoton there... Only problem is getting it out of this country at a reasonable cost!!

I would be happy even if the built the Falcon somewhere else and kept design / testing here... Wouldn't phase me asside from the face that aussies would be losing their jobs, that worries me.
