Being rwd isnt a fuel economy handicap....
Ford actually SAID THAT - FE is not the concern - the concern were the largest models planned. That segment, regardless of brand and drivetrain, is rapidly losing sales; so Ford is considering whether the originally planned LWB GRWD is still sustainable with the lower volume projection, or ewhether the LWB (AND LWB ONLY) should be adjusted/reduced in costs/ or even dropped.

As I said above - as long as Australia needs Falcon and US needs Mustang - GRWD is underway, and Lincoln will even get the MKR (Falcon with fancy bits).
