Default and what about FPV???

Amongst all the doom and gloom of Ford and to the same extent Holden, what is the long term plan for FPV, is it too late for FPV to start investing in other Ford models such as the Focus or Fiesta?

As we all know FPV's core business piggy backs off Ford's Falcon product, come 2016 and if the Falcon is finished, FPV will be in a sticky situation. I am sure FPV have a preliminary plan going forward but.....is that plan to either wind up shop or focus on another brands vehicle.

If FPV produced performance versions of the Fiesta or Focus several years ago, they could possibly continue operations beyond the Falcon platform, but as we know this has not happened.

You could also put HSV in the same basket, however given HSV has a much broarder larger customer base, it would be easier for HSV to adapt and focus on a HSV inspired Cruze for example.

Does anyone know what FPV's reaction has been so recent media stories or have any ideas what FPV could do post Falcon and could the ear marked 2014 Falcon update be FPV's final?
