No. mercedes is to blame for America' 25 year import law.
Back in the 80's, currency exchange rates meant you could go to Germany, buy the same Mercedes available in America, privately import the car back to America, and it would be $10,000 less than buying the same car from an American Mercedes dealer.
Mercedes was butthurt people found out how to get around their price gouging of the US market. In 1985 and 1986, there were more Mercedes privately imported than Mercedes themselves imported for American dealers.
Mercedes was so butthurt, they spent 3 years lobbying Congress to pass the 25 year import law in order to protect their profits.

>>15181859
So much anger over this. At least GM fronted the cost to prove they meet US specs. So we can legally import the utes and wagons. Just need to convert them to US drivetrains and emissions with LHD conversions. There's a company in Colorado that does it using Caprice PPV's, Camaro's, SS's, GTO's, and G8's as parts cars for the conversions.

>>15181908
>what is a hyperbole

>>15181912
Also, the V8's you Aussies used in the Falcons have American equivalents for the most part so getting gaskets of other service items would be easy and cheap.
The Barra I6 wouldn't make much sense here due to how fucking hard and expensive it would be to get normal service parts.
It would be on the same level as getting spare maintenance parts for a Nissan Skyline in America.

>At 60k we can get a freakin brand new awesome 4x4 Ford F-150!
>A brand new VF UTE SSV would be about 90k to 150k for a Maloo R8 VF. You can't have a imported RHD that is 25 years young and keep RHD, the drive train has to be USA spec and so does the gas tank and head lights. If you buy a ute in Oz you need to prep it to ship remove all non DOT and EPA parts then put in a shipping ben and ship to Florida, that with Customs fees would average about 9k to your house, next you need to get a USA spec Holden to match the year of your Holden and of course needs to be V8, the average doner car is 6k to 9k. You have all the parts, now is the fun part. You need pull out all RHD parts or just gut the whole ute to the body, change and weld the firewall, then wiring, then gas tank, door latchs, mirrors, headlights, then install doner engine, and exhaust (ute's is longer). We at Left Hand Utes charge 20k for labor, that does not include paper work fees.

We have those here in canada true fact tho, the nickelmines in sudbury use them as transportation under ground with the roofs cut off of them, sure there have been changes using newer fords, rams, and chebbys but they have all failled miserably so they gone back to the landcruiser and stuck with it (ive actually seen where a few got stuck and flooded under water down a drift for a few weeks and be firred back up with a extra boost from a external batt + starting fluid.

The Toyota Yaris/Vitz/Echo coupe was American market only. A sedan was sold in America, Japan, and Australia, and the hatch was sold in Europe, Japan,Audtralia, and Canada, but the coupe was American market only.

so change it. The front end is interchangeable with the hatchback.

They weren't sensible when speccing their Falcon ute's out like a Ranger. At least the Holden's go around corners.

>>15194990
And at least the fords can hold a full tonne in the tray, trade offs i guess.

http://www.motormag.com.au/features/1509/ford-xr6t-v-holden-ss-ute/
>The Holden is no magic carpet, but its multi-link rear suspension provides a much calmer and more settled experience. The trade-off is supposedly less load-carrying ability, but the SS’s quoted payload is 665kg, substantially more than the auto XR6 Turbo’s 453kg.
So what again is the Ford trading off for again?
