Toyota 86 is selling just under 600 a month.
Mustang Ecoboost, V6 and V8 Mustangs in coupe and vert models could hit that mark, if they arnt priced stupidly.

Australia could be the RHD Mustang production hub for Ford, to save stuffing up Flat Rock's full-on production schedule (next gen Taurus, Fusion, Lincoln MKS AND Mustang) with piddling amounts of RHD cars.

Very interesting. It does look like it wasn't supposed to be public.
Falcon as we know it was never going to survive the one Ford rationalisation. That doesn't mean local production is gone. Nor does it preclude us from adopting some other global platform or part thereof. The three blank silhouettes in the d/e platform are interesting as is the use of the Sydney icons suggesting Australia, despite the fact that Ford Aus is 1,000 km south. Slim hope remains. Biggest concern is the the new corporate look on the commercial vehicles. The vans are just ugly whilst the cargo is ridiculous. An ugly car/truck/van costs no more to manufacture than a good looking one. Commercial vehicles need to appeal to "blokes" and look masculine not like a guppy fish or Tonka toy.

Welp, and there is only one platform in the entire Ford universe that supports RWD, AWD, 4cyl, 6cyl and V8 engines, hmmm I wonder which one that is?
