well I think for would have a problem with a 4 door that could possibly spank the mustang but heck I'd take one in a NY minute..of course my assumptions are for the GT or GTP not the base falcon.

No way...they should keep the car exactly as is...well make it left hand drive ..but that's it.

I would hapily own it if it was kept as right hand drive though

BM...

since the next Falcon will likely be built on the Mustang's S197, it should be a slam dunk to build as a LHD.

I doubt it will be imported here as I read the aussie plants to not have the excess capacity to build enough for us. But regardless, just tool up a plant here to build it...

It would be great, basically getting a 4-door Mustang GT so that the family guys can have some fun too...

If it ever does come to north America, I hope it keeps the clean looks it has now... great looking car.

I doubt it would be built here..unless we built the american version and Aussie did the well aussie version. Frankly I would like hte novelty of driving an aussie car myself.

But yes i agree,,let australia style the car regardless of who makes it.

Anyone else ever contemplate that the rumoured return of the Marauder for 2007-2008 might just be the next Falcon. All indications seem to indicate that the newest Falcon redesign will live a very short life if Ford can swing it. IMO this is likely because they want to take this car to other markets...like ours and the mid-east. And, Ford really wants to limits platforms as well...and the Falcon represents a platform unto itself right now.

Just a thought, but I have sneaking suspicion that this car with some Mercury styling cues could easily be a future Marauder.
