Nah, Holden are and always have been American owned and OZ govt. subsidized. No more subsidies so they are shutting down soon. Should be good for the Aussie car market, currently second hand Jap cars are illegal imports to support the local industry. I won't mind buying a three year for Hilux for 1/3 the going rate when that changes.

Yeah, impressive But in 1770 we invented Australians, beat that And before that we invented Americans

[Hilbily]

Rod,you didn't invent Americans, we invented ourselves.
After they were here awhile, they became enlightened and got tired of paying all those damn taxes, dumped the tea in the harbor, then they did became Americans, that drink coffee!
While not a bresser, they don't seem to exist over here, I did recently get another non working Yukon ranger off the bay, that works just fine. People just don't know how to work them I guess.
