Now I wanna see somebody pick a favorite, ~~~~~, they make me wanna move to Australia just to buy one, If I HAD to pick one, it would be that Super Pursuit, cuz I'm partial to Ranchero's. They sure know how to make us jealous don't they???? cheers and beers, Frank H.

Yeah, I'd totally drive any of those, and I would literally kill for a Cosworth Escort.
Ford hates America.

Seems like if Pontiac could bring the Australian built GTO to the states than Ford could get these here. They probably would sell alot better than the GTO.

Why does Ford do this? I am assuming its not a 200mph car or something that isnt street legal.
Sometimes I think the government prefers that we as Americans buy foreign, why else would they not sell something that feeds the heart of an American.
The FPV Pursuit reminds me of the old Subaru Brat that had the Bucket seats in the back.

Cause it would spell the end of the Mustang. Ford is to black and white and cant see past its beloved Mustang to see that there are other cars that they currently make that could be braught over here and make them big bucks.

Those are the equivalent of the Cobra versions-- thus, they're Cobra-priced.
The REGULAR ford Falcon (still damn quick, mind you) would sell for a lot less than that. I believe the site for that is http://www.ford.com.au or co.au, and then ford's UK site, http://www.ford.co.uk --
There would be a HUUUUUUUUGE market for the uber high mpg stuff they have in the UK over here right now.
I've been saying it for years:
FORD NEEDS TO BRING THEIR INTERNATIONAL LINE-UP HOME!!!!!!
I would much rather drive a Falcon or a Ka than a Five-Hundred or Taurus.
Thank god the Taurus is finally dead.
Maybe with the Boeing guy running it, Ford will internationalize their entire lineup.
