Why 80Gs?

you'd be paying about $80G.


What's in there to make the price so high?  I can see Ford selling them for $40K-$60K, and successfully competing against BMW, MB, Lexus, Infinity etc.

Wait,....... it was an April issue? It's not even March yet.

My foot tastes like ass. Who's was I kicking?


You should know by now, magazines are a month or two ahead... ;)

Must be the boat trip...
For a while the AUD was stronger than the USD, but now it's back to similar to the CAD at about $0.95-0.98USD.

A month ahead, sure, but an April issue in mid February doesn't seem right. Hold on............ yep, both of my MT and Automobile mags that just showed up are March issues.

1 Australian Dollar = 0.91173 US Dollar

Factor in shipping costs and conversion to LHD and the price gets pretty north.

Okay, maybe if they built them down under and shipped them here.  Why couldn't they just build them here?

who knows the factory's would have to be re tooled to build the new cars, our engines are built by different factory's, plus a new interior would have to be made because it would have to be LHD, Now if the auzzie cars were LHD i have a feeling we would see some of them in the US but with much less exciting motors i think.

I'm with you there, man. I think all North American cars should be built in North America though. But what the hell do I know? :hick:

DaBoss, they use V8's built in North America and shipped that-a-way. The straight six is the Aussie built motor, and that's going to be replaced with a turbo V6 soon enough, that we're supposed to be building here as well.
