The VE/VF was the best generation of Commodore (engineering wise)...

This was an interesting vid to watch. It popped up in my feed the other day. This was for the VE, they have another for the VF I think.

Here's one for HSV production GTS Gen F

Here's one for VF production

Mate besides all of the other problems with them, they aren't even water tight. If this is the result of chucking a billion dollars at them, then they need rootin.

chucking a billion dollars

It was to de engineer them (to make them break easier).

I enjoyed the video though can't help but feel a little sad at the lost Australian manufacturing capabilities that our misguided ideological government let slip away

Meanwhile, everywhere else around the world, governments subsidise vehicle manufacture yet our dumb knuckle leaders decided to throw the baby out with the bath water. Interestingly, other countries have gained new vehicle manufacturing with the aid of heavy government subsidies. Go figure...

It was the billion dollar baby.......I really wish they'd spent a billion and one.

Build quality wise they were in no way close to overseas competitors.

I've had 3 VE's now and while I respect them for what they are, they weren't a well built car. I'll never be one of those aussie pride bogans that thinks it was the best car in the world just because it was built here.

I mean when they aren't even water tight *shrug*

Not a Trump fan by any stretch of the imagination, but he told the manufacturers that if you don't build the products here then we're not going to buy off you.
Subsequently a lot of companies that had been producing off shore
returned and began manufacturing in America again.

Quality wise, VE shits on VF....

Geez, that would be a worry.
