Default nobody wants an AU

g'day guys,

Just thought i'd come in here and see what other people think.

Im in the market for a new ute and ive been trauling the internet for the last 3months. Id prefer an 5spd XH (but would settle for a sedan - EL xr8) but their prices, especially the XH's are quite astronomical.
Generally, the prices of AU's (s1-3's included) are quite low, even ones with lower km's than that of an XH or even EL.
Not to offend any AU owners, but I personally think that the AU shouldve have been Fords version of the spartan cliff babies in 300, but thats my opinion. However, i do believe that the AU definitely showed great improvements on the preceeding Xh and EF/EL models mechanically.

But the general consensus appears to be that nobody wants an AU.

Any thoughts?
