And to go along with 70nyd im betting Toyo Aus will sell at a high rate until sales drop(enthusiast drop off) and a competitor comes in then the price will drop. If i had to guess i would say $35+orc for base and will drop to $32-34k driveaway by end of next year if not earlier.

For the sake of the car longevity i severely hope not.

Although we are a falcon and commodore dominant country i feel the tides are turning and have been for a while that these big tanks arent the flavour as per 5-10yrs ago and it wont be long and the smaller cars will be all the range.

Did i read somewhere that Holden is in trouble and needed government help with money. Reported 1 billion (never searched but i recall it was a very large figure) to redesign the commodore or some shit like that. Money well spent yeah!!

Mazda 3 out sold commodore and Falcon last year didnt it??
