It has been labled Australia's most advanced diesel engine... Just ask Trevor or Harvy, there's alot of diesel cars and trucks in that area of the world... This thing has drive by wire technoligy and an engine management that adjusts the engine's output for offroad or street use... Don't ask me how that works... I just know I loved it to death, but I am looking into the reliability issue that they have... If it turns out that I can't find enough goods to outweigh the bad then I'll just get a GC8 body WRX or something when I get back to Australia......

You know, if the darned country wasn't so hard to get into, I'd be moving to Australia.
You guys have much better taste in cars than most Americans. I think it probably has more to do with the environments you drive them in, but I really dig a lot of the models you get that we don't.
Years before we started getting Explorer 'Sport Tracks' and similar SUV-pickup models, I loved the types I saw on Australian websites. I thought, 'I wish I could import one of those.' Now we have tem and they're not so cool, somehow.
