Supercars has already said that they'll be making announcements re the future direction of the category when next year's calendar is announced - we'll find out then how far ahead they are looking for now and what decisions they've made for that timeframe.
Don't quite understand the references to Falcons through this thread as they no longer run in the series anyway and nor do Australian-built Commodores - so the references to local manufacture are already gone (sadly).
GM has already announced the ceasing of Camaro in the near future and no doubt that has torpedoed one direction that the series could have gone in. Mustang remains, Challenger is still on the US market and Chrysler Oz have said a number of times that it would like to bring them in here and on the GM front, Cadillac might provide some suitable iron and there were strong rumours of them being sold here at one stage but I don't know how "live" that is now.
Other than that it is a case of what can go under any manufacturers bodywork. As we've seen with Camry in NASCAR, in DTM a few times and Altima / current Commodore here - a racecar can still run around with quite different mechanicals from the donor road car and work in a series.
