It really did a number on Ford Australia's production. Ford Brazil got to keep their unique to market models I seem to recall. If you look at how Toyota develops models like Yaris and Corolla/Auris, they develop heavily for different regions, to the extent that 2 separate Corolla platforms exist, and you get weird & wonderful variants like AWD Yarii.
