Although Ford Has great ideas their execution is poor at best, i have to say that although i believe my territory to be best in class and drives better than any other SUV this side of 6 figures especially the main competition from toyota and holden, the features that even the top of line models lack that entry level commodores have and the build quality and reliability is what would put alot of people off, i myself have had more probs with my territory than my last 3 commodores combined all in the first 6 months too.
Still its a great car though and does leave a smile on my dial.
The other big reason ford oz is not doing the best is its unwillingness to have a LHD program the falcon has come a long way in the last 5 years and ford US dont have a RWD platform anymore the falcon is perfect and just needs a good pitch to the yanks.
Crown vic is all but dead but they loved that car over there and the falcon is a rolls royce when compared to that 70s POS, goverment and taxis in the US are turning to GM now that the crown vic is being discontinued.
