RE: GO FORD
Before i would BOO on ford, but actually the stuff they have been pumping out is really nice looking and refined, now i like them better than chevy, but not as much as Dodge
funny thing in the US... focus- australian design tarus- australian design fiesta- australian design transit- australian design Fusion- either australian or volvo design. ive paid attention to the Australian market for years (since i want to move there) and all the things that are "new" here, existed YEARS over there. i LIKE the focus now, before they where the most god awful jittery, buzzy, slow plasicy pieces of crap on the road. sorry, kinda went off in left field:eek: |

RE: GO FORD
oh, well at least alot of them are made there some from sources in europe (where i would like to know), the new fords here are made here. thats the thing, its hard to figure out where a car comes from, heck could be designed in germany, parts made in japan, built in england and then sold under a american name.
but i do know for a fact that the pontiac G8 and GTO are holden commodores that are imported, sadly the line failed due to pontiac going under, though i have heard that the camaro is almost all commodore. the raptor is a cool truck but i think it has a $80,000 price tag! |
RE: GO FORD
Shark<div>you mention holden commodore</div><div>I recently saw that BBC show top gear, thought they had on an Australian Pontiac.</div><div>Looked tough, sounded great.</div><div>Is that what you refer to?</div><div>How were they connected to the American version?</div><div>tap</div>

RE: GO FORD
The Commodore is indeed sold in America as a Pontiac. Shark I hear what you're saying about it being hard to really know where a car is being made, I bought a new ute in 09 made by Nissan and the model I got was made in Thailand while the 08 model before it which looked exactly same was made in Japan. 80 big ones for a Raptor huh... well it would be nice to see other people driving them I guess.

The Monaro is a rebranded Pontiac GTO. They are made in Australia, but the American counterpart (GTO) is made in America. |

RE: GO FORD
Not worth it to me to pay $50k for a gas guzzling pickup. when would you ever run a Dakar rally anyway if you bought one? Im not a fan boy of auto makes. as long as it gets ya A to B reliably and safely.

RE: GO FORD
Not to take anything away from Ford, but those Riley chassis seems to win with whatever engine.. I think Riley has won the past 7 or 8 Daytona 24 Hours.. with engines from Porsche, Lexus, Pontiac, BMW and now Ford...

RE: GO FORD
I felt it should feel a little less Far East and stick closer to what the namesake car was.

RE: GO FORD
Why should it be 2wd? It's basically a cheap pre-runner... I would love to have one, but I can barely afford to keep my ****ty jeep alive.

Jacked post woops :eek: Hell, look at what they did to the Charger...They took a Chrysler 300, put a Dodge cross grille, and dared to call that a Charger! The General Lee was a Charger. The Chargers of today to me are a shame to the original chargers of the late 60's and early 70s. The 2nd generation Chargers, and to some extent, the 3rd generation Chargers are my favorites. Even the first gen Chargers appeal to me. |
RE: GO FORD
i like the NEW charger, but its not a charger
i like the new dart, but its not a dart i kinda like the new challenger, but its not a challenger. bad name choices, but not bad cars. |
RE: GO FORD
So what ever happened to affordable 2 door V8's anyways? Even with all this go green and such you would think there would be SOME offerings from old-school America.
