Those magnificent curves. Those heart-stopping headlights. Those boner-ific wheels. All coming together in complete harmony, along with the superb 4.0L Intech with VCT and limp home mode and cassette player standard with optional CD player, to make the myth. The legend.

Well you see, that there is some explosive, unbeatable performance. As one ought to expect from an AU

All they need is some buffing and they’ll be right to go
You want testimony for how good the AU is? The AU escaped garry’s thread locking wrath. BMWs, Mitsubishis, Volvo’s etc have nothing on the mighty AU.

The Honda thread has been closed, but yet the AU lives on
Buy an AU; you’ll pull more roots than if you had a Ferrari or Lamborghini

Forget how they look; they have the Windsor block. The T3 FTEs were the last ever Fords in the world to roll off of the production line with the Windsor. That’s automotive history right there.

If the UC was so good, then how come it broke down?
the AU never breaks down
