For that, you'll have to travel to Australia or New Zealand (or South Africa or Thailand, exported from Oz), where Ford offers the Territory.<br />
<br />
Like all Territory models since its introduction in 2004, the 2011 model will be based on the Falcon that we're dying for in the States. Fortunately, as we've seen in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/20/spy-shots-next-ford-territory-caught-nearly-naked/">previous spy shots</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/14/ford-marks-out-bold-new-territory-for-australia/">renderings</a>, the next-gen Territory will feature styling that continues to separate itself from the <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/taurus x">Taurus X</a>-ish looks of the first-gen model, with a completely new front fascia featuring twin gaping maws with bright horizontal chrome strips.<br />
<br />
Two powerplants are expected: the turbo-diesel 2.7-liter V6 that can currently be found in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/discovery">Land Rover Discovery 3</a> (a.k.a. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lr4">LR4</a>) and the well-loved 4.0-liter inline six offered in the Falcon. <em>Thanks for the tip, TriShield!</em><br />
