The Falcon's market share in the large car segment has dropped from 41.8% in 1995 to 14.4% at March 2001. Holy crikey!!! I didn't think it was THAT bad..... :(

That's gotta hurt. Especially when a large number of these cars are low margin taxi sales etc.

Yes it is a huge drop and it won't be fixed in a hurry. Of coarse ex Holden owners moving back is going to help:p
At least the man at the top now has a direction:)

Well that simpsons episode did warn Ford...look what Homer's crappy car did to Powell Motors......:WH: :WH: :rolleyes:

Which one?? The Homer or the AU??... :p

Donut King · 05-04-2001, 08:29

I think there seems to be a direct correlation to both... The Homer Destroyed Powell Motors...the AU probably came close to destroying Ford locally too :eek: :eek: :eek:
