QLD and WA already use Forrester for Intensive Care and station officer duties.

I doubt Territory will get a look in on Ambulance duties for a couple of reasons, 6 cyl is seen as too expensive and uneconomical and AWD is seen as required but too expensive on Territory. QLD used a Territory once but its running cost were too high and it had reliability issues.

I also can not see Sportswagon being used for the reasons and the lack of AWD.

The forresters are a good size but in my opinion the presence of AWD does not make up for their lack of handling and crap tyres, the Commodore's we had were better for emergency use.

As for the new Territory, not impossible but unlikely at the moment. Plus I do not see the size as really required, Forrester is big enough.

As for the opening pic, not bad. I wonder if DRL's will become cool around here once a Ford is fitted with them and no longer a HSV only thing.
