I don't disagree that there are a number of reasons for its demise, not just advertising, but look at current numbers, we are averaging about what 500 falcons a month ATM while Holden is averaging about 3000 a month?
Both have been killed off , only one has been advertised, again I'm not saying that advertising would have saved it, I'm just saying ford put into play a plan a number of years ago before the announcement,
It's like anything , reduce the options or variations & the market for the product also reduces,
As many have said on here and admittedly it's all speculation, but you can't tell me a g8 e would not sell, the Calais v has proven there are people who want a luxury v8 sedan.
Either way it's a mute point now, these are the final 18 mths or so of the falcon, and for those of us it suited, let's enjoy this one last model.
