Ford Falcon (EA)
The Ford Falcon (EA) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford Australia from 1988 to 1991. It was the first iteration of the fifth generation of this Australian-made model and also included the Ford Fairmont (EA)—the luxury-oriented version of the Falcon.
==Development==
The result of a A$700 million development program,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Ford Falcon EA )〕 the EA Falcon bore a passing resemblance to the European Ford Scorpio.〔 However under the skin, it remained an entirely Australian design, and is credited as the first Falcon model to employ wind tunnel testing.〔 Developed under the codename ''EA26'' (E for the large size, A for Australia, 26 for the (usually in sequence) global project number), it would retain the traditional Falcon hallmarks of width and rear-wheel drive. This proved to be the correct move as sales of the Falcon began to climb after the fuel crisis aftermath, while those of the rival Commodore slipped. It became clear that Australian buying patterns had not truly changed and what the public wanted was a full-size (albeit smaller) family car.
In addition, Ford's dominance of the taxi market in Australia meant that a car that could comfortably seat three along the back seat—and even the front, with a bench seat installed—was necessary. It also ensured that Ford could retain, at least until Holden released the new Statesman/Caprice in 1990, the market for official cars for governmental use.
While initially popular, the EA's build quality was uncompetitive with uneven panel shutlines, computer problems, poor paint quality and front suspension alignment problems.〔
