Default Ford US making better cars than Ford AUS

I hate too say it but having been on the Ford US web site it appears to me that they are getting Better cars than we do here. Have a look at the new Ford Explorer http://www.ford.com/suvs/explorer/tr...erior_Features

They are getting heaps more options than we get, Things like power tailgate, Dual panel sunroof, Heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, HID lights , My Sync, Sony sound system, Blind spot information system, adaptive cruise control, Rain sensing wipers, keyless start, Remote start which auto sets the temp inside so the car is cool or warm in winter or summer, park assist, Auto dimming rear view mirror, 110v power outlet, Power fold up 3rd row seats, rear climate control, 20" wheels and heaps more just have a look for yourself The Explorer is a much better car than the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and how much you ask $38,000 for the top of the range but you have to pay for some of the above options. It makes our Territory look very poor by comparision. I think its time Ford Aus started importing these Cars to give General motors and the rest a fair old hiding. I know a few that have brought the new jeep over the new Territory but hell i would buy and explorer over both. The new F150 Platnium is an awesome truck as well with V6 ECO Boost power for $45,000 fully optioned in a dual cab. Times are changing and we need to move with the times.
