I actually think it's the opposite .. The Falcon/Commodore is a utilitarian vehicle stuck outside a series of neiche markets. The Falcodore was designed to carry people, carry stuff, tow stuff, have reasonable to good levels of performance and survive Australias horrendous road conditions. It's been modified from sedan into ute, wagon, panel van .. And in commodes case a dual cab and AWD configuration. In this day people want a family car so buy midsize sedan .. And buy a 4x4 to tow the box trailer of rubbish to the tip. I've said it before, but I'll miss the locally designed and built cars when they are gone .. I can add them to my collection of orphans (AMCs and Plymouths)
