OTOH.........don't we build army trucks (EG 'Bushmaster' or something) and I heard we sold those O/S too.
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Do you guys have the same Cruze we do? It is a big hit here and very competitive.
Whatever you do, don't neglect the timing belt. It's an interference design engine - if the belt breaks, the valves and pistons meet dramatically and expensively. Replacement interval is 60k which is stupidly low these days but originally it was set around 100k and they found the belts breaking before that distance had been travelled.
I know about the timing belt, but the offspring used to have their ar5e5 kicked to even change the oil.
Now that grand offspring has it, an “are tyres round, and full of air?” type, if the motor craps itself.............not my problem.
I despair that the younger generation put more value on their phone, computer and gaming than a car which is their transport to wherever they go.

Yeah, we do, but I'm not sure if they are Australian designed or modified from a South African design. Good vehicles, just the same.
Thanks. Thought I heard something like the UK and Dutch already bought some.Bushmasters are all Australian (ADI, now Thales) and for something Defence owns, are a fantastic bit of kit. They out perform and are rated better than most of their international competition.
UK, Netherlands, Indonesia and Japan have them. I believe a few others do too (maybe for testing).
