IF there is to be ANY future for a RWD Falcon post 2015 it needs to be shared with Mustang and be smaller than it is now. A RWD platform that can be scaled between 3-Series and 5-Series size would be just the ticket. That way, Lincoln would get it's RWD platforms to target the equivalent offerings from BMW, AUDI, Merc and Lexus, the Mustang would get it's larger RWD platform that would still be a credible size, and we would still be able to get RWD performance and luxury cars in the form of the next-gen Falcon.
The CD4 cars can take up the mantle of breadwinner for FoA and they should be built here.

I think a slight downsize, plus different body shapes are required. Practicality and or style is in. So, added to the sedan for the faithful. A coupe (Mustang), 4 door coupe like Merc CLS / Audi A7 and Sportwagon are key.
