WRONG, that is for fuel economy improvements and Euro 5 compliance, has nothing to do with the facelift for the Falcon.

I hope you blokes do go back & read what you have typed about the falcon demise / future as some are way off the mark, while others have plenty of positives !!!!!!

There has been no mention of anything Euro 5 from any release Ford have provided.

Good read..
One thing is for certain - there would be a lot of us in need of direction, if the Falcon/Territory where to disappear.. The Falcon has been apart of my life from the very beginning, it would be ashame to see it replaced by a import..

FoMoCo could throw in 80 million for LHD, not likely, but will definitely get the evo's styling.
