no. there is a 50/50 possibility of the next gen falcon making it over here, with it being built on the same platform as the next gen mustang(the 'global rearwheel drive' architecture).

Question of the ages. They make quite a few vehicles that I wish they sold here including the Falcon.

That thing sounds ILL from the factory. Gotta love our good ol Federal drive-by noise standards.

because the platform wasn't designed for exportation. the floor pan is asymmetrical, and would have to be redesigned to support left hand drive. that's not the only issue of course, just the biggest one.
the next gen falcon('14/'15MY) will be on the GRWD(global rearwheel drive) platform that will also underpin the mustang. no definite word if the falcon will make it over here then, but very little will need to be changed/done to sell it over here.

Gimmy the gdamned Focus RS please!

it's coming, about 2 years. the current RS isn't cost effective, americans aren't willing to pay near as much for small cars as europeans are.

Hmmm thats a shame. You would think after the success of the EVO and WRX/STi car makers would see the market for sporty 4door cars.
