The difference is that the Falcon would have been sold as a Ford through Ford dealerships alongside Mustang
where as there are no Holden dealerships in North America, so its cars had to be sold as Pontiacs or no name Chevrolets..
I just think Holden is on a hiding to nothing here, the cars are expensive to get a good return which drives US buyers away
and the launch timing heading into a Northern Winter almost guarantees two thirds of dealerships won't touch it this side of March.
