So really, when you think about it, we have it pretty damn good here. The fact our little country has even the range of cars that we get, is pretty amazing.
So what your saying is that we have to accept substandard feature cars because we have a small population when the technology is readily available within the Ford Company. When you look at the FG/SZ range, they have not really introduced anymore technology than what the SX/BA had 7 years ago and in fact we went backwards when the dropped the sunroof option from the range. I am just saying that they could have put some new technology into the FG2 or SZ to get people uptrading to new models. Even stuff like LED tailights and HID headlights would add no weight and been seen as moving the bar up plus maybe a decent sound system in high spec cars. Ford have sat on the hands and really offered nothing
