Such a wasted opportunity.
The problem is which is cheaper to produce...a higher specced Falcon needing all the R&D to put it on the road and then amortise those costs over a small number ...or placing an order with Ford Euro by email...and maybe sell less then the Falcon but also spend tens to hundreds of millions less to begin with?
