That car looks like its a monster in a more civilized version.

The G8 (Holden version) is also a sweet car to come from that part of the world. IIRC, if you were to line those two sedans up side by side, they might look like they are from the same automaker just based off of the mean appearance from the front with the headlights being shaped that way and the rest of the profile of each car. A sedan that doesn't look like its big but looks more like its a sleek machine ready for the road course.

remember this Australian Falcon?

This is the sweetest movie car of all time. Oh and the movie wasnt too bad either.

Millenium Falcon is not a movie car, but if it were, it'd slightly edge this out.

One Ford. If they want to start selling the Mustang around the world it's time to some of these other great cars to the US.

Was in Australia last year, and the aussies wished they could buy Mustangs in Australia. A Mustang is a "dream car" for most aussies...and the dream can be available for......$135,000 aussie dollars....here's one at a "drive away price".

These cars are converted to right hand drives by this private importer.
Right hand drive mustangs look kinda odd...

always loved the falcons over there even the Holdens (GM's brand). as you know the Holden Monaro came over to us as the GTO. Would be nice if Ford did this as a goof.

Probably because of the steering wheel being on the wrong side I guess. Freaking Limeys!! lol.
Ford would have to invest in the toolery to make a right hand drive version of these cars.
I'd welcome the Aussie cars here in a heart beat though.
too bad they don't offer the 2 door fiesta, focus in awd here. 4 door small cars are butt ugly!

135k ?! That is a base model GT Premium. That car is 30k at the most here in the USA.

Poor Aussies...
