In Australia and New Zealand, the popular Ford Falcon has long been regarded as the average family car, and it is much more than Mondeo, Ford's largest car sold in Europe. Between 1960 and 1972, the Falcon was based on the American madel of the same name, but has since fully developed and manufactured in Australia, occasionlly being produced in New Zealand.

Kia continued to market Aspire as Kia Avella, later replaced by Rio de Janeiro, and re-sold in the United States.
