I am a Third generation Falcon own and also have a Territory. So I for one have stood up and been counted. I would have loved my young boys to have been 4th Generation Falcon owners but that right has been ripped out of my finger tips because of Governments. Not because of me ! I will buy another Falcon, most likely a GT before they close but by God I will have me another one so I can show my boys the heritage they could have had.

USA government would not have put up with this as an excuse and in fact didn't they bail out their car companies correct me if I am wrong.

You believe you have a 'right' to buy a Falcon?

Head offices were bailed out - not 'backwater operations' that count for almost nothing on the global scale.

I love cars but you must understand that Falcon is not even a blip on Ford USA's radar. If it's not profitable, it's gone.
