I wonder if the new Taurus' are at rental outlets yet. Ford's advertising suggests it has aimed as high as Audi, as a benchmark for the Taurus. The ad shows the Taurus SHO racing against the Audi 4.2L V8 Quattro.
I just love what Ford is doing these days. Next time i need a rental, i would seriously consider asking for a Taurus.

Umm, so we go through a long, hard, expensive (and impossible) process of switching to driving on the right side so we can open up LHD export opportunities for our 2 small domestic automakers, who by the way won't exist once the USA can export their LHD crap here. Genius. Oh, and certain Jap crap won't be able to be imported. Poor ricers. Dumbest idea ever in the history of dumb ideas.

In actual fact the first maccas in Australia was built directly of the yank plans and WAS backwards. They had to move the speaker and reverse the pay/pickup windows.

Every bus will have to be converted otherwise you will be letting passangers out into the traffic and not the kerb.
