I'm trying to remember exactly when Holden announced factory closures. Cause 58.8% sales increase over last year is massive. Is it just people getting all nostalgic and patriotic, and wanting to buy one while they still can?
I think Ford had a similar sales surge when they announced their factory closures.
The closure was announced January this year. You have to remember that the VE was in virtual standstill for the last 8 months of it's life till the VF was rolled out. This isn't really a sales surge because of the factory closure, more pent up demand over the previous model. Remember that a lot of people would be onto effectively their 3rd VE by the time it went to god.
