Really the Commodore is in a stronger position when you are talking about a US car company looking around at what to chop. Doesn't mean the Falcon isn't good, but Ford US, absolute determination to never let Falcon be exported, always mean't it had one foot in the grave. Ford management is Falcons biggest problem, not this journalist. (GREAT TO BE SOLD OFF TO KEEP THE IMPORTANT US OPERATION RUNNING)
