From the article rogerd posted:
"This not only reflects on Ford Australia and its ability to build a world class inline six-cylinder mill, "
Where has the inline 6 gone in America? I honestly think it is, overall, my favorite engine design. Great torque can be had easily, simple design, and an awful lot of great performance cars and trucks have had inline 6's. The ones Ford used to make (the great 300ci straight 6) was a beast, as well as bulletproof. If maintained properly, 300k + miles was not unusual.

Sucks to be in the States, then. Here in NZ we get the Aussie straight sixes from Ford, and plenty of the Japanese ones (Nissan and Toyota, primarily).
