Like GM, Ford’s future RWD vehicles may come from Australia

Ford today announced that its development team in Australia is working on new Falcon and Territory models that will form the basis for several potential large rear-wheel drive vehicles. “While we have no concrete export plans to announce at this time, our new strategic direction as a company will involve us actively targeting additional opportunities for our outstanding domestically manufactured vehicles,” a Ford official said. Ford is rumored to be working on a new line of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, including a retro-styled sedan to compete with GM’s planned RWD Impala. Recently, it was reported that GM’s Australian subsidiary, Holden, would be developing that platform for the next-generation Camaro, GTO, Impala, Monte Carlo, and others.

Yes, please start making RWD cars again. And for the sake of us all, put the damn engine BEHIND the front wheels, not in front of them!

Brilliant! This idea is way overdue. Why build a brilliant Falcon for Australia only when in the US there’s the old Crown Vic still being sold?

Ford has so many good models worldwide, they really need to wake up and bring the good stuff over, as GM has pledged to do.
