That pick up's almoast as awesome as the Dodge RamSRT-10.

I don't like it how you people call it a 'pick-up'.

In Aus it's called a ute (short for utility vehicle).

Anyway I'm glad you guys like Australian Fords.

for the rest of the world it is still a PICK UP...

think we already got enough short words in europe...

SUV, MSV (SEAT's altea: Multi Sports Vehicle) and all sorts of MPV's Mini, midi, full size MPV.... you get almost crazy....from all those names...

atleast I do... I keep it with PICK UP,

.........and there's a CUV.....a Corolla Utility Vehicle (Matrix!! w00t!)....or atleast that's what Toyota calls it.

man you got a terrible CUV... you should see a doctor...

Ford have some pretty good loking utes. The FPV pursuit is better than the HSV Maloo IMO. But some of the HSV cars look absolutely beautiful. The Clubsport for instance

. (For all the people wonderin what the hell i'm talkin about, HSV stands for Holden Special Vehicles, the arch nemesis of the Ford Perfromance vehicles

)

~Mike Holden is better than Ford

Ive seen a Monaro run at the track. It might have a huge engine and great numbers on paper, but the thing wasnt so quick that day, despite an experienced driver.

I prefer Ford for two reasons:
Fox bodys
Cosworth.

Ahh . . .

you must be talking about the HRT 427. They only made like 50 of those because they're tight.

BTW you didn't vote.

Monaro's have been noticed all around the world. I've seen some take out lamborghinis and ferraris in circuit racing. Those thigns have a lot of pep!. Oh btw just the other night, I was watching the Discovery Channel and this monaro that was drifting was doing some pretty sick stuff! And do not get me started on the V8 supercars!
