[SonOf]

Just saw the new Holden add on the idiotbox, their slogen at the endis "Holden, here to stay"
Sorry did I miss anything in the news feed the other day saying GMH is stopping manufacture in Aust?

[NissanGQ4.2]

They say even thought they are building them overseas they are building them for us *L*

Holden's are sh!tboxes and need 2 be rammed into trees :)

well theyre here for the next year or so anyway!!! hahahahaha

[NP99]

Designed to make us feel good....yeah! Holden was sold to GM years ago.....it's been a thorn in their side!

[Avo]

TOYOTA's staying,.......................................... .........for now....................(flame suit)......

[Drewboyaus]

What a crock. Only staying to extract more money from us. Closing down their manufacturing.......they may as well fork off completely as far as I'm concerned. The Korean (Daewoo) manufactured and designed tripe like Malibu that they'll be flogging us holds no interest for me.

....and Ford will be doing what?

Pissed about Ford too but they've been a poorly managed basket case for over a decade in Australia. At least they still make some cars around the world that are nice to own and drive.

[SonOf]

They may as well add to their slogan the Tony Abbott catch cry of "Helping the liberated workers" we have freed them from employment!

Whereas patrols need to be parked and never driven again!?

???????????? Ford have never made nice cars to own and drive, except the re-badged Nissan Patrol, just goes 2 show how bad a company makes cars when they need 2 re-badge another company's car.

I beg to differ....... The only decent ford's that were nice to drive are the European built Ford, like Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo (which shares it's under pinning with the Mazda 6).

Also Holden should have stuck with the Opel sourced Corsa (Barina) and Astra instead of bringing over the crap they did and what ever that so called mid sized car was that I can't even remember the name of....... All pieces of uninspiring GM Korean built crap.

Oh and I'm not saying that stuff out if Korea is crap or badly built....... I'm just saying those GM cars are woeful shite, they would be shite no matter where they were built

[NP99]

Fiesta, Focus......beauty and style are in the eyes of the beholder!!! Not mine...

I never said they were good looking did I?????

[MudRunnerTD]

I just read an article about the new GTS! Holy Bat Crap! "Best Car EVER Built in this country" " 430KW Blown 6.2lt". Wow wouldn't mind one.

430kw!!!! Holy Crap!

My sentiments exactly.

[threedogs]

@ MR 430KW yeah that'd do it or me too.
Foot flat tearing up Mountain straight,
plus they look mean in a Holden sort of way

So basically your saying all Fords are shite :)

That's why I bought a Holden and not a Ford I wanted a shite box 2 run around in that gets me from a to b and back again.

I think the rebadging idea was from the ex Senator John Button....
