To me it looks like there are no wheels on the car, they just blend in and you don't notice their design.

For me it will Have to be a 2016 Falcon, probably the last new car that I want to own.
I learnt to drive in a new XK, I have an XM, I drove an XE the equivalent of to the Moon and back, cruised around in a ZL Fairlane for a while, and have owned a Territory for the last 7 years. I am not interested in highly stressed direct injected turbo 4 ecoboxes overstuffed with tech, CV or duel-clutch gearboxes, engines that restart themselves every time you stop in traffic, just more things to go wrong. Just want a simple honest car that is good to drive that I can repair and service myself. I started driving in a Falcon, 25 cars, not all Fords, and 50 years later I want a Falcon to be the last car I own.

I understand that but I was led to believe the imports won't be having that motor, if so I stand corrected.

Well it has to be a ute, or a big wagon 4x4 to make my life easy. So I think the Raptor fits the bill nicely.

Manual with the 6.7 Cummins should do nicely. |
