They already sold Vauxhall in UK, have little presence in Japan, and have announced they are pulling out of Thailand. Thats the three biggest rhd markets right there.

As much as I'm No fan of the liberal party, this has nothing to do with our government.

Some stupid fucks just love pushing their bullshit agendas anywhere they can and don't let the truth get in their way.

No ones blamed the libs for killing off holden but they have blamed the libs for killing off our automotive industry (ford and Toyota also shut down their factories because of abbott and hockey) just to get rid of unions.

And it should be raised that the libs sabotaged our automotive industry becauee morriscum has come out trying to shift all the blame on GM when it was him and his party that began the downfall. Hes again twisting shit that they played a part in and trying to paint himself as clean.

But there are those sheep who have NFI whats going on, read something and think "ah ha! Got ya" but nah theyre just ignorant dopes

The VF Commodore should of continued for another five years, the import had nothing on the Aussie version.
The federal Government should buy holden.

VF is when it started to go wrong for Holden. They went from American looking muscle (VE) to bloated Euro trash styling.

Problem is petrol is too expensive. Most people can't afford to fill up fuel guzzling V6 and V8 engines anymore.

I wonder how the Rimac electric motor company is going these days?
Didn't they create an electric motor which makes the Laferrari look like a volvo?

Yea but it was built here as an Aussie Commodore and filled the gap where the German fugly front end was simply snobbed.
The Highway patrol are asking to hang onto their VFs for a little longer.
