I have a feeling that six cylinder sales will polarize to I-4 Ecoboost or to a V8 option as people seek economy or performance.
A slightly smaller Falcon with lotsa I-4 EB sales, a few V8 sales and of course Territory continuing with EB I-4 and V6 diesel..
Modified Mondeo top hats on Falcon E8 floor pan and running gear would make a nice Taurus..
All we have to do is convince the US that would make a nice Lincoln luxury sedan...

E8 probably wouldn't work under a Mondeo unibody, an would need modification requiring basically... complete new unibody. Also Falcon is larger in interior room. So I think we will see a Falcon as is in the greenhouse area, but with revised front and back... and U.S. market regulations.
Also. Team Red's new SS. They are gonna love it.
