Go Auto article
Oz now Ford’s global low-cost experts http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mell...25787D000A4433 Quote:
Ford HQ are clearly very impressed with FoA engineering capabilities. Ford Australia has the ability to design a vehicle not just from the ground up, but successfully rework an existing design and do it really cost competitively both in engineering and retail aspects.

Looks like those years of developing good cars on a shoestring budget is finally paying dividends. And we've seen with the T6 what FoA can do with an open cheque book...

The more that Ford HQ positively reflect upon the accomplishments of Ford Australia, the better that reflects on the Falcon and Territory and what they are, what has been and what can be done with them.
