    Has the last car rolled off the line yet? Originally heard it was going to be the 19th, then the 18th but then people here and on the news etc, have said the last car has rolled off the line. The news report last night infact had an SSVR in the Elizabeth parade and they were stating that it was the last car off the line. Even in this thread, somebody has said "it was noted by some of the speakers, how the staff worked so diligently to ensure that quality was maintained, at the highest world class standard, right up to the very last car to roll off the line"....Then you read new articles today saying Holden is going into their final week of production. I've got no idea whats going on.

    Yea seen a few carefully worded similar claims. The three Limited Editions auctioned yesterday, for example.
    "The final {insert badge} Commodore to roll off the production line."

    The Pollies and the Bureaucrats sell our assets and keep our liabilities. Very sustainable hey? Oh I forgot, we have the middle income tax payers to prop them up..........

    The only cars in my shed today are Aussie built. I am comfortable with that.

    The only thanks that should be given is to the Australian Government that created the Australian car industry in the first place, when they had Nationalistic values and a goal for a future with hope.

    Anyone wanting to blame Unions for the demise of Holden should look to the far north-east where the American United Automobile Workers Union pressured GM to limit the number of imports on Pontiac GTOs, Pontiac G8s and Chevy SSs.
    Any ‘foreign’ brands that do well in the USA, are most likely to have models that are built in the USA.

    That quote was me, and I was quoting someone else. I too thought the last one was a couple days away. But there was an image going around of the body of the last one, being a Director, on the line a few days ago. It was auctioned off on Saturday for $130k.

    Yes - I did hear though that the last body from the press wouldn't necessarily be the last car off the line. Anyhow as W375 has said above, obviously the last car hasn't rolled off the line yet, however I suspect many of the last 'variants' have rolled off. My Redline was meant to be built on the 18th, and have just notified me yesterday that it came off the line on Friday so they are definitely hooking through the builds.

    The last car - A red VF Redline sedan has appeared on social media in the last hour. Also showing the empty production line behind it. :(
