The market has changed...and Ford (and to a lesser extent Holden) sadly just didn't seem to see it coming...
if cars were all the same price, the larger cars would still outsell the smaller cars. smaller cars are cheaper, and people realise they can 'make do' with less room. those who 'need' the space, buy larger suv's or large sedans still.

anyone who thinks smaller cars have the same useable space, have been won over my the marketers.

and also, why do you say 'to a lesser extent' for holden?? and what makes you think they didn't see it coming.

ford in all probablity, have not wanted to manufacture in australia for some time. they have kept the research and design facility here, as that is actually worth something to ford. the rest, was costing them money.

too many people let emotions cloud the picture.
