Rick… There an Aussie Ford Focus Zeetec, which is cheaper than the American ZX3 (Same car)… look a bit harder. The responsive 1.8 litre also happens to be a DOHC 16v… -james   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Rick White Sent: Monday, 23 December 2002 1:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New car values?          Hmmm, I have been to both Australian and American Ford dealers sites. Here are the links for both countries BASE MODEL Ford Focus. The Australian Version says(Powered by a responsive 1.8 litre engine with 5-speed manual transmission, or an optional 2.0 litre engine with 4-speed automatic transmission, the CL is packed with outstanding features.) http://www.fordfocus.com.au/home/model_cl/      The American version says(2.0L 16V DOHC Zetec I-4 engine for the same base model) http://www.fordvehicles.com/Cars/focus/features/specs/   As I have said before, Australian base models are crap, no other country in the world would buy them. How can anyone say the Australian base models are cheaper than the American base model when they don't even compare in the specs??   I am confused. Later. Rick White.   The US doesn't have better pricing on Ford motor cars, check out the web  site, it says plain as day what the base model Focus is worth.   - Tom     Julian wrote:   Not quite correct.  A 318 is only about AUD $38k  in Germany but your  point is valid. Prices in the US are better than in Australia as well, mainly  contributed to the face the Australian market is so small.  - Julian --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
