I do see it as an opportunity...Ford makes some great cars overseas, like the Taurus. As long as they retune the suspension for Australia, as they usually have to do with Yank stuff sold here...we don't take kindly to things that wallow along like it's suspended on pillows...

Oh, and if you think the vast majority of buyers could give a rats *** whether a car is front or rear wheel drive (or even
know), then you're sadly mistaken. "Getting the tail out" is something that 95% of buyers wouldn't even consider as being important in a family car.
