cultural underpinings and mindsets are at play here, the yanks can't admint something from down under is better and they need it... it's ego...
I see something similar with Ford happening too. How long has Ford US being trying to shut Australia down? Too long, Tom is winning... Orion will export for so long, then it will be built over there and the flip side is won... My advice, get a BF and keep it, it will be the model before the nail is in the coffin.... Sad but true. Cheers

That is exactly my point. Underpinning from the US is the issue. Hence the aspac euro approach. However I see them trying to see what happens. Ultimately th Gm Ford rival with aussie cars in the US is about the best thing that could happen.

As Bossxr8 said, Ford Australia are busy working on an export deal for the Asia/Pacific region and not wasting their time on trying to slot the Falcon somewhere in the US Ford line-up.
Why do you think Ford want to shut down FoA bluehoon? |

even being a holden guy, I reckon it would be SWEET if ford Aus started exporting to the US. Get a few good Aussie cars over there (Monaro, Commodore, Falcon, Territory...as much as we ***** about eachother they are ALL great cars that hold their own) and show the yanks how to build -REAL- cars.
I always loved the idea i read in a magazine article once when BA first hit the streets, saying the falcon would be the perfect replacement for ford crown victoria cop cars in the US makes me feel all warm and fuzzy thinking maybe one day some other countrys will look upon aussie cars in a similar way we look upon european ones |
