Time's Up for the RWD Aussie Falcon - Expensive Cars 2013

The Australia-only RWD Ford Falcon's shrinking sales numbers means its time is up, soon to be replaced by a more conventional FWD/AWD sedan. Contrary to some recent reports, it appears that Australia's Ford Falcon will retain its current rear-wheel-drive platform through the 2014 model year. As Ford continues to roll out its "One Ford" global marketing strategy, Falcon fans have become increasingly concerned that Ford would soon be ditching its platform entirely in favor of that of the Taurus, which is available in both a front- and all-wheel drive set-up. Especially as previous reports confirmed that local production of Australian Ford models would come to an end by 2016.
