That's weird

But it lists a foreign currency for the retail price? Perhaps the Ford.au site is 'hosting' foreign products for foreign markets??

EDIT: Yeah its for South Afrika

Hmm. In the same area, the Ford IKON

Could this be that Ford Oz are hosting the Indian website?

'Locate a Dealer' includes Botswana and Swaziland - so I guess it's South Africa.

I wonder how the Everest would do here?

Ranger station wagon.
No different to the Triton and the Outlander.

Hopefully they'll do something of that nature - ie make a station wagon style rugged SUV - with the T6 and let us buy it.

Yeah I was going to say the same. The page is for "FMCSA", which I would assume is the Ford Motor Company of South Africa sharing the Aus site. As there is no way to navigate to that page from the Ford Aus site.

You seem to be able to change whether it says South Africa or Australia by manipulating the link.
http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/Conte...age&site=FMCSA
Now you have a G Series from South Africa :P

I think you mean "Triton and Challenger".

R390,000 for the top-spec equates to about A$56,000... maybe a bit high.
