Please, someone rich, please bring back Holden. Just make special editions. Everyone loved the simplicity and driveability of Holden muscle cars. They will sell. It would be awesome to see new Holdens on Australian roads again.

How do you work that out. It was the union movement that priced anything made in Australia out of business!

@Condowie-Bloke General Motors USA killed Holden. It's a total myth that it was unions. They didn't make cars Australians wanted to buy. At the end they were just selling imported rebadged garbage. Look at the Captiva for example. Made in Korea.

Yes he does. The union busting bluster, and wage excuses were ridiculous. The plant was modern & highly automated with half the line being robots, so Holden only employed roughly 1/3rd the staff they did back in the 1970s + the employees had a wage freeze to help Holden with costs leading up the the decision to close the plant. The wage bill wasn't as bad in that light as Abbott and Hockey made out. They should have approached it differently. As they wanted to wind back the direct government subsidies of the automotive industry, they could have replaced them with a ruling that all government vehicles (including councils) would be locally made, and changed the rules around tax breaks to say that if you wanted a tax break on a vehicle, including salary sacrifice, it had to be local. At the time there were large (Falcons, Commodores), mid-size (Camrys), and small (Cruzes) cars, and an SUV (Territory) in production. You can bet that it wouldn't have taken long for Toyota to start building Hiluxs or Ford to start building Rangers to meet the demand. We're all suffering from price gouging now due to no local manufacturing to keep a lid on car prices.

@@PrisonerD Thank you, we need people like you to tell what was really going on. These Politicians need one hell of a shake up and to stop being told what to do by overseas interests or world Elites. The damage has been done and it's by design. They keep pandering to China. Look at the railways now China is taking that over. John Holland NO! CHINA HOLLAND. THATS WHO'S BEHIND THE NAME.

how about make a small production run of 100 per year Lownes has enough money to do em. A bloke on KZbin is going to make 100 a year of LX hatchbacks without the resources of Lownes.
