Valid point, but surely in this day and age, with just in time, plucking engine A over engine B isn't a huge burden if it means being able to have a spread model range and pricing strategy?

The clowns at Holden even take out the centre brake light from a VF SV6 ute to offset the cost and features when stepping up to a SS ute, there must be money in it. (I personally can't see how having two body looms and sailplanes for your utes can work but they do it).

It's more about product marketing and stock control. Ford won't want dealers ordering the wrong stock for their market then crying when they can't move it. GS models were a hard sell in sedan so I think it's safe to say they will only want the better of the 2 options.
