Option 3 is quite a long shot. They can't go much slower than the current rate...
Negative baby!Option 3 is quite a long shot. They can't go much slower than the current rate...
Happiness Index??? Ppfffftt, too subjective mate. Make it number of cars sold or some other objective factor. I'm a bean-counter, not a hippy.Slab of choice and an avacado toastie for cultural significance. (No idea where you are but I suspect post might hurt me a bit haha)
Two of the three have to happen by June 2021
1. Australia loses it's top 10 ranking in World Happiness index - measured at the end of the period.
2. FY20/21 GDP per capita growth is lower than the preceding decade.
3. FY20/21 wage growth is lower than the preceding decade.
Bonus points. 26ers make a comeback.

I ride a 26", so they have not left.
Nope, simply gross sales. I don't want the lazy 99%'r type of people dragging down this average, thanks.:hippie:Happy with cars per capita
He just doesn't sound believable or sincere. Looks evident to me that he has some coaching on how to put forward body language to appear to be the boss. Not big in the charisma stakes unfortunately.Poor old Mal...can anyone name a candidate from Australian history who (on paper at least) would seem more qualified to deliver a strong term of prime minister? Yet somehow...he comes up so short.
Possibly, I don't think Ford are doing too well either. One of a few local independent Ford dealerships closed down a few years ago after 50 or so years in business, family run and not a small set up. The writing was on the wall with Holden, you can't just sell a brand name anymore with the internet around.Well that puts a line under that then. Wonder if any other car makers will follow GMs lead?
HYUNDAI? Set to TAKE OVER THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't just take billions of the governments money and then stop manufacturing at australia for the cost of nearly 1000 jobs. That backlash alone was nearly enough to kill the brand but then they decide to import cars unsuitable for Australian conditions plus a whole bunch of absolute lemons (the cruze in particular) that they backed up with incredibly poor customer service and a ACCC law suit. The whole thing has been an excercise in how not to run a brand.Possibly, I don't think Ford are doing too well either.

In short - not really. Cruze, Captiva, Barina, Malibu (yuck), Trax....none of them sold very well and they never received good press from the motoring journalists.Has Holden sold a decent car in the past 20 years besides the Commodore.
I just associate Holden with shit, I'm not even sold on the Commodore tbh.
A mate of mine used to work in Holden support, apparently the Colorado is fine until you put something in the tray or use it to tow things, then you will develop oil issues. Just feels like GM can't make an engine properly.By most accounts the current Colorado ute is actually a pretty good thing. They did some decent work to the ride/handling for our roads and it's got a lot of fruit for the money in the higher models......but's all about timing. It's being dragged down with the sinking ship.
Yeah wouldn't surprise me.A mate of mine used to work in Holden support, apparently the Colorado is fine until you put something in the tray or use it to tow things, then you will develop oil issues. Just feels like GM can't make an engine properly.
Don't worry, Ford produced a lot of POS too, the explorers, mondeo and territorys were some on the worst cars I've ever had to work on, I can not remember being in any shop without a ford in-line 6 head removed and that was even in shops that predominately worked on holden.You can't just take billions of the governments money and then stop manufacturing at australia for the cost of nearly 1000 jobs.
