Same as you mate, never been interested in GM's imported crap and nothing about that is set to change - unless they do a V8 RWD sedan - hmmm.

Seppos love large cars, but like them two door. Cool cars, but not Aussie. I reckon I'd buy M.I.J. rather than Thailand or China.

Ugliest chinese style crap I ever seen. Better "kill" Holden brand altogether than embarrass it (and Australia) like that.

Yea may have to jump **** to the Blue oval side if they bring the Mustang and its Half decent....

Driving a Pustang? :spew:

I have to admit I was looking at an older 3 series BMW when the VP needed to be replaced.The only thing i worry about is the cost of repair. But my car MUSt be rear wheel drive and preferably a manual.

Moving forward 30 years - Headlines "China wages melt down" with the Great Wall Holden costing too much to make. The new simple model will be a 2/3rds scale replica that you can still rego and insure - but not drive (we simple wont fit).

The owner's manual will be written in Chenglish, which no Australian can ever understand.....

VE 2012 Heron SS Thunder Ute M6
Im with one of the posters earlier in this thread,was going to keep my current ute for a long long time,might have to re-think and strongly consider buying one of the last VF V8's when they roll off the S.A production line in 2016/17...


Wouldn't buy a chinese built vehicle either...stuff that!

As long as it doesnt go bang, ill keep my ve untill 2016.
I will then be selling and buying a 2016 vf and it will be the last commodore ill ever own.
After that it will be benz only.

Don't leave it too long. I'd be amazed if it lasts till the end of 2017 as promised. TBH I'd be surprised if Ford makes mid 2015.

After that it will be benz only.

Well that's the stupidest statement I've seen in a while.
