wow! some one who made a mistake, realised it, and publicly admitted it!
=)
there was alos the fuel crisis that added to ford not making a v8.
holden got the a9x etc through, by not actullay relasing them as models, but as options.
they did that alot, pick up a copy of aussie muscle car mag, they usually have a good explanation in there.
a9x for example is not the model name (gt, gl etc) but the factory code, a bit like ae101 in the corollas
