Japan received the redesigned BF Laser in January 1985, with a diesel for the first time, a factory two door cabriolet and a four wheel drive turbo, while Australia got the KC Laser and GC Meteor that October. A new TX3 replaced the earlier sport variant in Australia, and the Mercury Tracer was a North American version of this car. Buyers in Australia and New Zealand often did not realise the Ford was based on the Mazda 323.
