So tell me I'm wrong,are FPR and HSV vehicles hotted up family sedans?,are they the same as they were 20 years ago?,do they both use crate motors?,are they both regular seen on the news upside down or wrapped around tree's?,I can go on but is the answer to any of those questions no?. Pat

Yes you are wrong there not even that same as they were 5 years ago. as for being upside down and wraped around trees some actual stats on this would be intresting for the number sold v numbers crashed bet its no better or worse then any other make And no the the ford turbo six is an australian built and designed engine from the ground up. I think both company's bring there v8 engines in from the u.s but I could be wrong

Guys, when you're all finished swinging your cocks around lets get back on topic hey

After reading a few posts it sounds like the Freelander is a good thing,not something I would want but still a good car. I picked up an old issue of 4X4 Australia magazine from July this year that had an article rating all the compact SUV's on sale in Australia. But for some reason? there is no Freelander mentioned. Can anyone shed some light on this? The top ten is as follows.

#1-Subaru Forester 2.5i-L
#2-Mitsubishi Outlander LS
#3-Hyundai ix35 Elite
#4-Renault Koleos Bose
#5-Toyota Rav4 GXL
#6-Honda CR-V VTi-L
#7-Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport
#8-Volkswagen Tiguan 132TSI Pacific
#9-Nissan X-Trail ST-L
#10-Ford Kuga Trend EcoBoost

The Mazda is the biggest selling in this segment and is outselling Prado and Grand Cherokee. Without being Land Rover biased I would have thought the Freelander would be a better car than the ones mentioned above.

This not trying to stir the pot its just an answer to the question. Since 2002 FPV have been the only company in Australia building V8 Engines. Holden/HSV have been using crate engines since the 5.7L GenIII was introduced.
