Default Post Falcon

G'day all...This morning on my RDO I decided to do some research on the net for after Falcon replacements and other models...This is what I found from two different sources...There will be no immediate mid/large car replacement for up to 1-2 years..The alternatives will be the European Mondeo/American Fusion essentially the same car with different spec levels..OR according to one of the two pages I read , an Australian designed Ford Taurus that was primarily designed for the Chinese market..It seems no dates/times have yet been locked in.. In the small car range Focus , Fiesta and possibly even Ford Ka with a three cylinder 1.0 litre ecoboost is being considered... There is to be Mustang of course, Ranger , Kuga , Everest , Edge , delivery style commercial vehicles too...All in all there will be 11 different Ford vehicles for sale..How exactly accurate these reports are , I'm not sure but it's something to consider..I also decided to have a look at a couple of reviews of the Fusion..The reviewers were way more interested in the 'bling' of the cars..onboard functions etc..Scant reference to the car performance other than fuel consumption ..Both cars were the Eco boost versions and mentioned the new one with the V6 as well..Has anyone else that prefers a conventional car looked at any of the potential alternatives yet ? Here's a review (sort of ) of a Fusion Titanium...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vScReLquRw...just incase this is our Falcon replacement later on..Mondeo is similar and here is the American Taurus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OqQ7St4eJs .IF we get the Taurus it'll be the one set for the China market designed by an Australian crew but here's the sportier Taurus too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr51pqt8oy4 ..Love to know what we all think ? Cheers Rod..
