Occasionally the formula works, and they build a brilliant product. Ford Australia persisted with the Falcon, decade after decade, largely ignoring the trends of downsizing (XD Falcon vs VB commodore), technology and useless gadgets (keyless entry, heads up display and other useless tech that consumers love), fuel economy, the switch to front-wheel-drive, sensible motoring (installing a supercharged V8 and I6T in an era of hoon laws, high petrol prices, and greenies) and still made it to age 55, not bad..
