Could Territory become the dominant make, leaving Falcon to become something else...
Perhaps, until LPI and Ecoboost come on stream. Not everyone wants a dirty great SUV as a family car. And I would suggest the takeup of Ecoboost by government fleets would keep the Falcon's head above water by itself. Then add LPI, a new XR8, a facelift...
