    ks55, that kind of post will not endear any more of Americans than this decision to kill the Falcon.

    My condolences for fans of this car and the great Ford/Holden rivalry.

    WTH will they race at Bathurst in a few years? I liked the Top Gear description of that race; a place where Ford and GM fans go for a big fight and a car race breaks out.

    This is unclear- are you saying that Ford is ceasing all manufacturing in Australia, or just plants making the Falcon? Sounds like the story has more to do with the market in general and less about the Falcon itself. Will Ford import cars from elsewhere? What gives?
