I can't believe they mistook a XR6 Turbo Ute for a Maloo... can't they see the oval Ford badge on the back?

Considering they have never seen a Maloo nor XR ute and probably don't know what the hell a Holden badge looks like (if they even know Holden exist), I can believe it.

Being a LS1/LS2 site, most of them do now know of the Aussie Holdens, especially after the GTO.

They confuse Australia with Austria! Still I'm glad we build better American cars than they do, thanks to all those great US bits. :Reverend:

They might confuse the model names easier than the makes

ie Holden Tornado, Ford Maloo
