So unless a dirt cheap GTR falls in my lap I'll be back in a T in the not to distant future.

smoke Member 70 Member For: 18y 10m 12d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 08/03/09 12:37 PM Share Posted 08/03/09 12:37 PM Pretty much the same for Ford as well....last time I looked fords had fly by wire throttle, how can they run a cable?Because what they are making is not an attractive coupe... It's a BA with it's rear door section cut off and welded together. The AU roof line makes it look like a beetleits not an au roofline, it appears to have front and rear BA glass in it.but god damn...that coupe looks crap without a wing or lip, it just screams for SOMETHING to be there.

Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 22y 11d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 09/03/09 01:22 AM Share Posted 09/03/09 01:22 AM Also, yanks are shockinig designers...the cars are ugly, and underpinned by acient suspension... if only Ford bosses from the North would drive a falcon around for a few months..They do drive them in the US, they have a fleet of international vehicles over there that they drive and evaluate on a regular basis. CEO Allan Mullaly even raved about how good the G6E Turbo is, he loved it. But the not made here syndrome will keep it out of the US. And Corporate Average Fuel Economy targets are killing off large vehicles in the US.At least the yanks can recognise the VE is a piece of sh*t, Pontiac G8 sales are less than half what Expensive Daewoo planned to sell over there, so maybe the yanks aren't as dumb as we thought. It went on sale well before the GFC too so that not the sole reason they aren't selling, they just don't want them. Apparently GM have nearly 300 days worth of unsold G8 stock they just can't sell.

oldraven The guy from that other colony Member 157 Member For: 19y 6m 3d Gender: Male Location: Goshen, Guysborough Co., Nova Scotia, Canada Posted 10/03/09 07:27 PM Share Posted 10/03/09 07:27 PM (edited) It's not about being 'dumb', it's about an auto market crash that happened shortly after the car debuted. Nothing is selling down there, not even the Prius. Before that it was a matter of the US seeing the highest fuel prices in their entire history. People were paying $7k USD for twenty year old Metros and Sprints. The car is incredible, if you ask me, and would have sold just as good or better than the Charger/300 with proper timing.
