goodbye holden, goodbye Ford, pls keep Toyota Australia going.......but they say if holden n ford go, all the companies that supply parts to the big three will go broke n some say Toyota cant keep going profitably with the car industry dead that supplies n makes support parts to the car industry.
6 cylinder cars are reputed these days to use too much petrol etc etc etc. but the ride of a brand new Ford and some new commodores (I hate commodores) is so nice, its worth the extra $$$ to buy a big family car with plenty of grunt. 351 Ford V8 in 1981 had 160 kw. Fords starting with BA six cylinder had 196 klwatt.
People like to buy a 4 cylinder which just sux, or if u buy a performance car, its a turbo or supercharged six or V8....poor old straight six or V6 are just not so popular although they are best bang for ya buck missiles on 4 tyres....shame times have changed to junky imports with lousy 2 litre motors mostly everywhere. Even modern 4 wheel drives come with 2.0 litre motors that couldn't pull the skin off a rice custard.
I love my Ford straight Six late BA Red Wagon. With a few enhancements its very quick.
Wouldn't mind a mustang to go with the Mustang pinny though.lol
