A popular Ford in Australia

[Lorenzo]

In a recent trip to Australia I noticed these Fords were very popular.This model had large rotors and Brembo brakes. I think there would be a market for them in the US. What do you think?

The Aussies love their Utes as they call them. In my opinion, their's is a market pretty peculiar to Australia though.

Ford is stopping all production in Australia next year or 2016, So the Aussie Falcon will only become a collectors item.. Our Govt made it very difficult for local manufactures to compete with cheap imports.. Thousands will loose their jobs, as GM and Toyota is stopping production as well.. Not only job losses from the 3 manufactures , but all the spin off companies , brake pads, balljoints, bearings, ete etc Sad day for The Australian economy.

Cannot see a market in the US, unless it gains 2k-3k pounds, several feet in length and width to fill a traffic lane. Cost of ownership here is too low to make a mini-Ranchero remotely saleable.
