FoA put a lot of effort into the EcoLPi and EcoBoost engines. Yet there was NO advertising or promotion of these engines. The EcoLPi was cheaper to run and produced less emissions than the petrol Barra. The EcoBoost could have been sold to governments and fleets when some of the introduced a "no six cylinder" policy.
It is like these were hidden as somebody wanted FoA to fail.

I reckon the thread would contain many of the same elements as the Holden thread

I remember there was a brief advertisement that showed the Eco Lpi was cheaper to run than a Corolla.
But the Falcon was never murdered, it was just death by 1000 cuts from around the 1980s onwards.
