It wasn't until the mid 90's that Ford in Oz had independant rear suspesion. GM had it a bit earlier but the early independant set ups used to chew tyres at an alarming rate unless upgraded with redesigned components. No wonder they can't sell their cars, the average car buyer in Oz is getting more sophisticated and blind brand loyalty is starting to fade.
