Falcon will never hit the highs it was once on.
The changes in consumer requirements and the introduction of a variety of new cars has ensured this will never happen. What were once small cars are now decent in size and are cheaper to buy/run.
There is also the problem of Ford itself. It is too often too late to the party. The LPG falcon is missing and they don't have a wagon. This and the fact the Falcon is simply not up to scratch in terms of features.
Sadly I think Ford have missed the boat with the Territory too, besides the diesel engine, value for $$ compared to other makes just isn't there and this is a NEW model.
Product planners need a good kick up the backside.
