I've always liked the Ute type of vehicle, they have a place, most US buyers would rather have a traditional pickup...

Hey smart guy, the El Camino was made until 1987, not the early 80s. I have one, it does not suck. I do not have a mullet. Its different, it gets looks, and hell, I've even had people take pictures of it while driving.

For some reason I was thinking 1983. When did I say they sucked? My brother in law had two. One w/ a 540 RWHP 377, and another that did 13.7@99MPH for $1500-2000 total cost (no nitrous or anything like that)
Australian fords haven't been based on Mustang styling since the early 70's, It amazes me how yanks seem to think that Australian designs are always based on Yank cars..Aussie designers have deliberatly tried not to do this since the late 70's as US styled cars don't sell well in Australia..and for the record those fords have been availible since 2002 and are the upgrade to the 1998 AU Falcon for which they share 90% of the body shape..before the current Mustang body shape.
Australian Fords have no Foriegn counter part as far as their design goes..the only thing that the use that is from the US is the 5.4l V8..which is rebuilt to Aussies standards when the arrive on our shores..the US spec motors fail at really low mileages..as GMH found out back in 2000 when the first 500 or so GEN3 V8 Commodores experience engine failures shortly after release..to correct the problem the Aussie engineers rebuild all imported engines to a different specification now.
The GMH's are designed in Germany and are usually based on enlarged Opel designs.

I don't think employing GM Opel design teams would go down to well in the US..thats how GMH saved itself from mediocre US designs back in the 70's, it almost backed fired for GMH though, when the opel design teams first arrived here, they refused to work on our cars until GMH garranted them that they would have complete control over all designs and not the GM head office in the US as it had been before, since the first commodore in 1978 all GMH designs have been german, fitted with aussie engines upto 1987 when nissan turbo sixes where fitted and then in 1989 when buick sourced V6's (a very bad move..the 3.8litre is a shitbox of a motor compared to the ford 4litre inline 6, but the nissan 3litre was a better engine than both) were used.
the bulk of GMH upper management is now german as well.
it's just you..you can't see past the penis that dangles down from you forehead..they look nothing alike moron
