Default Officially upset at Ford Australia - but we're now friends again

To cut a long story short, I am looking to replace my current SUV. The best alternative is the Ford Territory, unfortunately I don’t want to “settle” for it, but I would like to enjoy the purchase.

I said “settle” because, compared to my current ride, both the Territories engines are significantly less powered and the Territory is down on standard features and options. However I will ignore this for the sake of BUYING AUSTRALIAN! I also mean “settle” as I really want a Sports SUV (like the old Territory Turbo) and I am willing to pay cash, but nothing in the Territory range is available.

I have contacted Ford Head Office and whinged with the following issues:
1, If (as has been stated by ford) the SUV segment is stronger than the large RWD sedan segment, why is it that the Falcon’s range has the choice of,

A) 4 cylinder Petrol Turbo
B) 6 cylinder Petrol
C) 6 cylinder Petrol Turbo XR Spec
D) 6 cylinder Petrol Turbo F6 Spec
E) 6 cylinder LPG
F) 8 cylinder Supercharged GS spec
G) 8 cylinder Supercharged GT spec

…and yet the Territory only has 2 engines?

2, If the SUV segment is stronger than the large RWD sedan segment, why is the Territory AWD only available in 1 engine choice?

3, If the SUV segment is stronger than the large RWD sedan segment, why is the Falcon available in more body colours than the Territory?????? I am not old, not chained to a woman, have no ankle biters (all said as a joke) and yet I want a Territory! Surely they can give me a colour choice better than Black, White, Brown, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Real-Light Brown and Burgundy???????


ANYHOW: i will "settle" for the Territory Titanium but I want a Territory in SWIFT or MARS RED.......not ready to die yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.
