Falcon better than Taurus?

Needless to say comparing sales numbers to population doesnt make one program more viable than the other, they still require the raw numbers irregardless.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that a vehicle must have sufficient sales to sustain local manufacturing,
our Falcon survives at lower numbers because of increased plant efficiency and reasonably high retail prices

Long term sustainability of local manufacturing hinges on Ford making the right decision on
products that sell and return sufficient income to justify keeping the doors open and in order
to do that we must have a product that is saleable to at least other countries in our region.
