The huge media circlejerk over the death-knell for the Falcon unfortunately raises more questions than answers at the moment. Phrases like "imported Taurus" have been bandied around far too much.
So instead, I was wanting to talk about an alternative future, one that involves RWD. Mulally hinted in his interview that Australia could have some input into the future Mustang. Depending on the involvement (either token or substantial), this has overtones of Global Rear Wheel Drive. Wishful thinking, or closer than you think? You decide. Seeing as GRWD is still in deep freeze, and its future is still uncertain, can any insiders shed some light on the extent of the work that was done on it, and what shape it was taking? In a physical sense I mean. Was it like Orion at all, or an evolution of it? Or something totally different? If a future RWD Falcon is going to fly here, we would be well placed to answer this little conundrum.
