Same here Mate. I got away from the SUVs also, had them for years. Now I run around in a Ford Fusion Titanium  with AWD as we do get snow here. The thing has a dashboard that looks like a multiplex theater. I do not want to own all that technology. I am not sure I trust the turbocharged engine for a long haul.


Ha ha, Ford must love "Titanium" Bobby, my new Ford Territory is the top of the range "Titanium" also. Ford production ceased in Oz last year sadly, so all our Fords will be imports soon (Mustangs are already pretty common here) so it'll be interesting to see if we get the Fusion to replace the (now extinct) Aussie built Ford Falcon that had a model run of 55 years.......... ;D

Sheesh! I Loooove the Falcons - wife had a 62 for years. Great car.

It's already there called the Mondeo. The interior layout is a bit different. I sit on the left side of course. They did away with he transmission selector stalk and replaced it with a twist knob, there are paddle shifters if you need to shift.  Just leased the 2017 for the wife and ordered another one for me.

Oh okay, I think I've seen a Mondeo around, I thought they were English, so I ignored them. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yeah the grille is sort of like an Aston Martin. More European than Japanese, with a bit of American decadence.  ;D

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
