Cooldrive alternators you can add to the list, they're horrible, warranty issues all the time with that crap.

Not quite; there will be no 2016 Taurus offered down under and nor will it be designed for RHD. However it does follow on with Ford's corporate design language, hence why it looks similar to the FG-X.

Stuff China. A small window of a mining boom here but we have ended up with a decimated manufacturing sector that will have a major impact on our future prosperity. I go out of my way to not buy made in third world crap and i am happy to pay accordingly or buy second hand if required.

Hmmm, have you tried Sichuan food ?
Many seem to like the ladies as well ;-) I would not have a problem with a Ford coming from a Ford plant in China. A Chinese colleague/friend who is a car enthusiast, drove me in his Focus - he said Ford was the best build quality in its class. |
