Is it better to burn out or to fade away? More specifically,

It's just like King of the Hill and The Simpsons.

I'm glad they're letting the Falcon die a noble death rather than turning it into a shitpile like they're doing with the Commodore.

agree 100%, last Falcon may not have been the best, but it was a decent send off at least. The new Commodore just seems like an insult

ya know the Commodore is not the only name they are going to ruin, they are doing it to the Monaro too.
they are thinking about selling pic as a Monaro with a twin turbo v6

Is this what american design is capable of?

Rebadged Opel Insignia

Wew.


Good car though.

why couldn't Holden and Ford keep their Australian design teams and outsource their manufacturing to chinks?

pls no eurocuckmobiles in aus

>>17829950
Why didn't they just market themselves overseas, i'm pretty a bunch of americans would've gone for a commodore / falcon ute. Did they even export anything? no wonder they failed.

>>17829950
the workers unions in Australia ruined it, they got so greedy and demanded so much more money it started not being profitable to produce cars here and iirc there was legislation in place stopping them from getting cheap chink labour to replace them.
same reason Toyota stopped car production in Australia.

>>17829973
Basically this, coupled in part with Yank nationalism.

>>17829964
Pretty sure Holden exported the Monaro and some other platforms to the Middle East and parts of Asia, burgers got some Holdens rebadged as Pontiacs

What they're doing with the Commodore is exactly the same as the original Commodore. Import a badge engineered Opel to stand in place of the outgoing Australian Holden.
This cry for something some faggots aren't used to is a carbon copy of what happened in 1978. Let it come and let it adapt. It'll be fine faggots. In the meantime, where our twin turbo Taurus Ford?

>>17829950
The Commodore up until 2007 was always a eurocuckmobile faggot.

Best to go out with a bang.

>>17829964
The Ford was never designed for LHD and something in the engine bay was in the way, they couldn't do it.

Gm exported commodores to the Middle East in LHD and then there was the caprice ppv for the USA. You just have to understand the factory is limited in how many it can build. It's just one Australian factory.

Kind of why we haven't been getting RHD camaros because GM have been flat out supplying North America and just haven't been bothered developing one yet

>>17829950
Pretty much this >>17829973.
The problem with outsourcing shit to the chinks is fucking terrible build quality. Literally nothing has quality control, and there's no way to regulate it, from the alloy they use to make the chassis to the electronics, anything could break at any given moment or cause a fatal accident.

There's some real horror stories floating around on 4chan from some anon who was hired to be an intermediary between some Chinese steel company and a Russian importer, beams had different thicknesses, were filled with melted scrap metal to pad out stolen material, rusting and all sorts of shit.

Ford has a place in Taiwan that makes cars for straya, but basically the strayan devision had to move 70% of the staff from a factory over, only hire educated people, and basically supervise every single aspect of the production from beginning to the end, using almost no locally sourced materials.

Less strayan salaries being paid than a normal factory, but even more intensive scrutiny and quality control that had to be supervised by trusted and qualified employees from various branches around the world.
