I will buy a new falcon and if it turns out to be the last then it will be the last ford product I buy. I don't care for anything else in their range. I for one hope and believe the falcon will continue past 2016, but that belief is getting harder to maintain.

This thread tells me that even ford fans don't care about the car that put FOA on the map and that truly is the most disappointing thing.

Its not that the fans don't care, i'm sure it hurts a lot of people what is happening and makes people angry. I'm hurt and dissapointed that it can't go on forever but nothing is forever I guess. I'm at least hopeful if the worst case scenario proves true then at least Ford bring in a RHD Mustang to at least give something to Falcon fans to aspire too. I know its not the same but at least it would be something, although I'll be buying a 2014 FG to secure a piece of Falcon before its too late.

They have rocks in their head if they think a Falcon enthusiast would even think twice about buying a Mondeo, although it is a nice piece of kit, its just not and never will be the same thing.
