It's all over for the Falcon - they should avoid the brand damage and embarrasment of a slow & painful death and just stop production. Mitsubishi have done much better since they stopped selling (giving away) the 380.

Nobody wants to buy from a brand where the rancid smell of impending death hangs over the salesfloor.
