GMH needs funding to stay in OZ

Also when comparing US prices with AU prices, they seem to never pay less than full price. It's like they don't get a good deal. New Xr6 $32,000, new Sv6 $33,000, SS $39,000 driveway.. And from what i have seen GM makes nothing on commodore sales in the US.

How do you figure that, just wondering ?

If you compare direct price for price unit for unit, driveway prices they seem to pay allot less.
I could be corrected.

In Australia it's not hard to get several (even many) thousand dollars off the cost of most cars. Very few will pay full retail. The discounts on offer in NA are usually manufacturer incentives and the dealer end negotiation is quite small. There is no doubt that cars in USA are cheaper than what we pay here but the gap is not as big as what it first seems.

Yes what reaper said .

Good example was the G6E-T price $59,000. G6E-T 50th Anniversary $52,000. Sure Americans wouldn't bother paying this over there. But true if it were to be available in the states it would be some $10,000 min less than here. But like wages they would look at our garbage guys getting close to or over $1,000 p/w and their US counterparts would be getting 20-30 % less. It's just so different.
