While I'm disappointed with sales of falcons, I can understand that Ford is about to
go after fleets again so it will be interesting to see how all of this pans out..
Then you would know that the FG didn't launch until April 2008
and the figures you're comparing are dying last quarter of BF II.
A good result for FG compared to BF II but the low numbers in a bumper month are concerning...

Consider Falcon & Commodore as 2 make market for on second
2008: Falcon: 34.6%
2008: Commodore: 65.4%
2010 Falcon: 39.2%
2010 Commodore: 60.8%
That is close to a 5% increase on market share in 2 years (based on my model theory).. How is that bad? Forget the days of 4-5-6-7K falcons sold evey month, they are gone.. What we do have is a Falcon with growth in sales numbers & market share!!
