OK I lost the thread and the original message quoted above about the
Australian news group and Chrysler corp. Sorry to disappoint you mate, but
Chrysler corp is well and truly in Australia.
Queensland to be precise. Who do you suppose owns Jeep.

And I though f150's were still available in Australia.
Oh I get it,  these quotes were from an article that must have been written
by an American.
The yanks are all stupid anyway
