Probably not wanting his car to rattle and fall apart everytime he hits a bump. Also getting warranty items fixed without argument and threats over every little issue. Enjoy your bucket of rust from cars guide too :

Yeop, I am with ya mate, if i were in the market, i would consider one of these for sure, they looks VERY European and would look great with a set of 22's under it.

I don't get it??

I think its mainly price and fuel consumption that has driven them to one. I test drove one and found it to be a damn nice car to drive also, and sounds great and better under hard revvs than the commodore, although it would want to because if u like bit of grunt thats where u will be spending most of ur time, it was no power house, but its more of an option than a competitor to the territory i'd say, where as the Adventra was a totally different class.

In certain colours and trim levels I think they also look pretty good. Territory is deffinatley the better vehicle though, by far.

Lol - unless ford has something REALLY special up their sleeve with Orion, I doubt it very much. I think Ford are going to continue with their Four-Door Panelvan thing.
