Ford need to hurry thier a*se up and get the facelifted focus here (already on sale in Europe)
Ford will have to let the Territory slide while they wait until 2010 (new V6 and TT diesel & facelift) so once again, ford australia too slow. |

Can anyone tell me how many Ford dealers ther are in Australia? I would of thought it was in the hundreds which means some dealers aren't even selling one a month of some models.
I remember Holden saying that they had hoped to sell 20,000 GTOs in the US but there was 20,000 GM dealers and it wasn't practical to get every dealer involved for just one sale per dealer per year on average. This in part contributed to the relative lack of success of the venture. |

... and the usual graphical representation. This month we have added an interesting little look at where our vehicles actually are sourced from.

All things being equal well done to Holden in finding such an export market, Ford should look to do the same and with the boss of Ford Alan Mulally getting a G6E-T as his daily, hopefully he will have a moment of inspiration and start importing our cars to the USA. I agree with you on the craptiva, it looks so much like the Kia version its beyond me how so many love something so rubbish. Well done on owning a HSV too, these days it's fast becoming politically incorrect to own anything with a capacity greater than 3 litres. What model have you got?
