You cant compare the Mazda 6 to the Falcon.

It is common and accepted practice to reduce advertising on products that have reached the end, or decline stage of their product life cycle, which the Falcon clearly has. The Mazda 6 is in its growth or mature stage, where more is usually spent on advertising.

Honestly who really cares, it's getting bloody old to be honest.

It's called FORD Motor Company of Australia, not Falcon Motor Company of Australia.

You need to refrain from commenting on every single thing every other car manufacturer does.......

You could put 10 full page adds in the courier mail RE: Falcon and it would not make any difference to sales, dealers don't care about it. I went to buy a new one yesterday and the enthusiasm was zilch....
