Had Ford released EcoLPI in sedans, I think the sales numbers would have held firm above 2,500 and Utes up another 250-300

At the moment, Ford is building just over 30 EcoLPI engines a day so that means roughly 600 more Falcons a month
and I'd expect that Falcon sales will recover when we get past the traditionally quiet January & February months....

It's interesting that even when combined Camry and Aurion sales aren't that great, maybe that's an area
Ford and Holden should be looking at further exploiting with future big car designs.
what more can the big three (oz) do to turn sales?
of course only talking local make not the import side.
the large car segment is dying at the cost of oz workers..

holden seen this and diversified to a mid size cruze..
another thing is to consider is opening the third line and make malibu, need gov assis, record sales, gmna handouts..
