There are some very talented engineers at Holden's that will find employ at Ford. It should work out well for many workers AND the Aussie auto design sector.

I hold onto hope that one day we'll see a return of an Aussie engineered rear drive mid-sized car for the folk tired of identical transportation appliances.

This is one area of expertise the Aussies have it over most.

My point is simply that Holden aren't worried about what Ford are doing with the Falcon... they threw gadgets into the VF because every other market segment had them. Contraction of the segment is a bigger concern for Holden than losing share of that segment.

You can take the rustangs 1970's quality.

There is always the Cadillac CTS-V, and perhaps Camaro.

Didn't realise you were anti-Ford, but it does makes me wonder what you are doing on a Ford forum

I find that ******* hilarious knowing that!!! Holden less Australian then a Toyota Camry haha

Quite simply, they dont care. To them even a Captiva is more australian than a Territory. Thats over 60 years of marketing for you...
