Will someone please tell me why Australia gets all of this and we see nothing here in the states. They have engines in use I have never heard of. 4.0L DOHC in-line 6?

europe gets some bad *** blue ovals as well.... lower emmission standards, lower saftey standards, and less government regulation = more freedom to produce higher output cars. Just look at the holden platform... in Austrailia was a big hit for a while.. The GTO lasted exaclty how many years here with gas guzzler tax on top of sticker price.. and looks.. etc..
