Not really relevant to this sedan issue...but...

In Bondi having brekky a few weeks ago... legally parked near the café we were sitting at, this older guy walks up and starts snapping picks of the ute..... "you right there mate?" and this fella answer's in a very broad yank accent that they don't got these back home, used to have one, great idea..... just got trucks now......

Sat and chatted with him and his wife for 30 mins, nice people...not at all like the stereotypical yank tourist....

I've not needed a sedan for a number of years now, on my second ute since all children left home..... Tanya's got a 4 door hatchy thingy... so that fills a need but we use the ute 95% of the time with no issues...

I'm a hoony sort of fella, I like real power and acceleration, not that I do much with it.... so the XR6 fills that and allows the tub which can be locked and also the lid just slips off. Serious offroad ability isn't my thing, this thing has a second set of wheels with higher profile coarser tread tyres and its never needed anymore than this when out in the boon docks.
