Falcon in the U.S.

[my gt]

hi guys saw this in a u.s..mag.

Ford is evaluating the Australian Falcon for sale here in the US. However, squashing rumors from the start, Ford will not likely be importing the Falcon from Australia. Australia's car market makes up just over a half a percent of the world's car market. With the first three months of Falcons sold before production even started, and the Falcon line quickly becoming a success on the market, Ford's plant will be operating at capacity just to keep the Australian market supplied. But don't think that Ford isn't interested in making a version of the Falcon or Fairmont here. Ford commissioned a study late last year, and this past spring was examining a business case for US production. Everyone from J. Mays to CEO Bill Ford himself spent quality time with an Australian Fairmont Ghia V-8 brought over for evaluation, and possibly other versions of the newly released "BA" chassis as well. Ford is interested in developing a common car for both here and the land down under, and it's possible the Mustang's modified DEW chassis will be underneath them.
