Ford and GM will neatly tell us that Falcon and Commodore were dying anyway
and mostly that is true but, consider that the very existence on both local cars
was predicated on the belief that no other vehicles existed elsewhere in either
operation that could cover that segment. The very reason for their existence
was also used to bring them undone...

Neither of them was permitted to change or evolve into more appropriate vehicles
because that would be stepping outside the tight guidelines set down for their existence.

But wouldn't have been interesting if VF Commodore sporned a medium and large SUV
instead of chasing after Caprice sales..... Imagine if Ford Explored a crossover Falcon
and made the Territory slightly longer as a more comfortable three row SUV..
