Ford Motor Company’s global chief executive Alan Mulally last week confirmed the next Falcon would end the nameplate’s decades-long run as a model designed and developed exclusively in Australia.

It claims the four-cylinder will use 15 to 20 per cent less fuel than V6 alternatives. For the full story please visit drive.com.au
