I'm still holding out hope that maybe Ford has some plan to bring it to the US, since I saw it driving around near the Ford development facilities there. I guess I might as well dream about it...]]>Oct 31st 2006 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/Oct 31st 2006 2:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqTbCh3_bSw the Brazilian Ford Galaxie who used the 1965-66 body was made there from 1967 to 1982 (although others sources mentionned 1983), here some pics on this Brazilian site http://www.galaxie.com.br/galaxie_club/historia_bra.htm]]>Oct 31st 2006 3:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/Oct 31st 2006 6:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/
Those cars have nicer interiors, are easier and more comfortable to operate and drive light years better than our fullsized trucks too.

Don't get me wrong, our 3/4 and 1-tons have their place. But the Utes that Ford and Holden produce will do almost all the tasks people buy 1/2-tons here for. And they make better daily drivers to boot. ]]>Oct 31st 2006 6:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/31/video-more-ford-australia-fun/

On recent visits to the USA (2005), I was surprised at the large number of pickup trucks in Arizona/Nevada/California, and how bloody fat and bland many of them are. I think that FPV and HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) could do pretty well if exported to the USA. V8s, nice styling, fairly cheap, rear-wheel drive, less phat but better performance than an 'SUV'.

So come on, yanks! Make some noise! There's only 20 million of us Aussies, so we don't get heard on the international scene. If a decent amount of Americans want FPV and HSV vehicles, then we'll start to export.

At least the Holden VE Commodore is being exported as the Pontiac V8. So come-on, Ford men! Make some noise at your Ford dealership.]]>Jun 7th 2007 4:45AM
