Let's be clear, I'm not saying the only reason the falcon is lost to us is because of the AU. I said it was a contributing factor. Look at the graph.... Lead foot, yes BA and territory sales did spark numbers up again, that was my point. But the fact remains, the rot begun with the styling failure which was the AU. As good as the driveline was in the AU, the damage was done, and for that it gets no love from me.
I would not be surprised if the people who signed off on that look either had a long term view the falcon was gone, or they had intentions to kill it. The fact it was put together so well is the story of the Falcons life. Strong ingenuity and local commitment to the great Australian road car, let down by poor decisions higher up the food chain.
