Why are american car companies complaining?

I was just surfing around and came across an australian news site...got this link there

American car companies are always complaining about how imports are killing the market etc etc, they closed a few plants around here and are cutting more and more jobs, meanwhile they have sh!t like this for sale in australia???????

These cars look amazing

Someone break it down for me plz

Im guessing different emissions regulations and less stringent safety requirements allow them to produce and sell those cars their. Also, I would imagine the market is much different over their, if enough people wanted that type of car here Im sure they would be sold here, its just that everyone is happy driving an uninspiring domestic piece that everyone else has.

australia never left v8 rwd cars. us did.

something like that, but more complicated

That does look better than that Ford 500 or whatever. I still wouldn't buy one, but I think they might sell well here.

Thats odd though, I personally would love to have a Ford FPV GT-P which looks better then most cars on the road today, and certainly better then the domestic offerings. Damm the world!

Meh, all they look like are ugly tuners cars to me.

And to quote my great Uncle:

"I never went anywhere in a Ford that I couldn't walk back from."
