I too am hoping FORD can bag another good car like BA style did for them. Difficult to say though when you don’t have the same people running the opperation they did back then.Would love to see them kick Holden ARSE again . The Aero Dynamic’s of the BFs in Supercars this year seems to be killing them against the VEs {Very Exaggerated } .Unless there in the wet!! Just PLEASE pick up the quality from the last?????

doesent mean too much. nissan was running huge losses in the 90’s and look at some of the cars they came out with in that period, gt-r, s-chasis.

thanks to strong leadership and optimism they made one of the biggest turnarounds in history and are now making huge profits.

like alborz said in the past 6 years they made over 450 Million in profit.

I wouldnt be worried… Im sure the development of the new Falcon is playin a major role in that loss, investment in a new model isnt cheap, but just like they have profited in the past they will do so after this new Falcon comes out.

well its not really massive
if you count up their profitability in the last 6 years or so
its around 450 million profit!
they plan these massive spending sprees in their budget.

I find it odd that they have had a massage loss and yet they are going to bring out an all new Falcon.

The Falcon isn’t that out of date and Ford could easier wait another year or two before a new car comes out.
