Lololol - you think Vegemite is Australian??? You do realize the trademark and manufacturing has been owned by Kraft since before WW2?? Kraft is American.

Although owned by multi nationals since about the mid 30's vegemite was invented in Australia, and has always been, and is still made in Australia to a "secret" formula. So I guess you are both partly correct.

It's still made in Australia though. You can smell it before going over the Westgate. Mmm yum

Why can't they do a front-wheel-drive ute?

Has been done and sucked balls. Guess who did it.

Volkswagen and was called the Volkswagen Caddy

What about a Holden Cruze ute? Would make a great recreational ute.
And they'd look OK too.
The kombi vans are front wheel drive aren't they? They'll carry a decent payload.

We call them in the US the Eurovan, the Combi as far I know was the older ones with the Air Cooled engines mounted on the rear.

One simple question and perhaps a hard request.

I always wonder how Vegemite taste like; can someone discribe the flavor?
