ITT: list of cars that arent made in their country of origin

>French cunts make it now
Wait wut, for who? Vauxhall?

>>17561538
The factory doesn't close for another few months. For now we still have the last few genuine Commodores to make.

I don't know why they bother keeping the name going when it will be a FWD piece of garbage eurotrash. They should have the decency to just lay it to rest like Ford did with the Falcon.

>>17561552
Vauxhall is the british brand. its pretty much the same company
>>17561594
wait seriously?? theres still some made in australia?

>>17561552
GM owns Holden, which the holden factories just couldnt afford it anymore due to the lack of government intervention to keep the car manufactoring industry in australia alive. Ford shut its doors, Toyota just recently closed down its Altona company and Holden according to >>17561594 is up next

>>17561661
Until September/ October I believe.

Actually the original country of origin for the "VN-VT" Opel Omega B is Russenhiem Germany

We did however extensively modify ours but yeah i miss them, they handle quite well for a large estate/exec car and i like the way they look

in a way every car is its own form from something else really like how every video game is (or is the same nowadays)

like the GT86 was a homage to the AE86 and the 2000GT or how Duke Nukem was a homage of sorts to DOOM

Shame nobody else got the XR6 Turbo

It was a good car, if you got the big brakes, manual and lsd

basically the cop car or fpv spec

If your automotive industry can't stay alive without government meddling it deserves to die off. Nothing of value was ever saved by coddling the market like a newborn baby. Us Americans could use that kind of thinking.

Which is exactly why we let it die unlike what's happened in america.

The problem is our high wages, we cannot compete with Asia.

The most popular cars are small econoboxes and SUV's. people just arent loyal to the family sedan anymore. which is sad.

I wish that bloke had bought the holden factory so they could keep making utes, HSV's and Chev SS's for export

pretty dumb that Australia let cars made in thailand with hardly any tax while they tax australian cars harshly. Its not free trade, its dumb trade

we need a trump.

Australia is an island, its meant to have protectionism

>>17563819
Lmao that's protectionism for a FOREIGN industry. How fucking stupid does it get? I mean protectionism is pretty stupid but to use it against yourself is absolutely retarded.

>>17563859
Protectionism never works, it's a mercantilist meme.
