V12 LS Engine - Made in Australia

Thought I'd give everyone a break from Tesla related threads. Pity Holden weren't making these before they stopped manufacturing permanently:

The brutal unions made sure Holden had to leave Australia.

Wonder how they get the V12 to meet the emission reqs ?

The fuel thirst would be frightening!!! A V8 is bad enough.

Does it have twin turbos ?

Holden and Ford failed because they were foreign owned. Their foreign owners would not tolerate them competing in the owner's markets. Their products just became copies of their foreign owner's products financed by Australian government subsidies.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Total rubbish from a Lefty of course.

The excessive union demands simply made Ford and Holden and Toyota unprofitable here in Australia.

Australia's small population meant Ford and Holden and Toyota had to export and there they never stood a chance competing with overseas firms.

Ford and Holden ONLY persisted because the Labor "Govt" was laundering taxpayers' money through Ford and Holden to pay for the greedy unions excessive demands.

But eventually this illegal laundering of taxpayers' money had to stop.

Total oversimplification. Yes the unions were a part, but also the diversity of cars in the market, outside costs etc.

Extraordinary BH on topic!!!

But an oversimplification.

Ford and Holden knew they could not go on forever with Labor Govt illegal handouts and so they did not invest in any new models.

So what they did was just tinker with the existing models until the end came.

And so Ford and Holden were able to exit the Australian market and get away from the vicious union brutality without any huge losses in new manufacturing equipment.

Toyota quickly realized Australia was a dead end with only a small local market and ever present vicious union parasites everywhere.

And of course Ford and Holden with their excessive union costs could not compete with the much cheaper imported models.

The traitors that didn't buy Ford or Holden (they were world class cars) are now paying through the nose for repairs, servicing and updating, a BMW is worth nothing second hand these days.

Hockey should have propped up the industry as the yanks have done, he is a big fat cigar smoking poof.

The Jabiru airplane engine is made here and is a winner.

the automobile industry is even more heavily unionised in Germany than here, why do they still have a car industry?

Blaming unions is lazy.

It wasn’t complicated but partisan cretins from both sides think the answer lies totally with one side.  Idiots of the left blame Joe but forget about Mitsubishi, idiots of the right blame unions. 

The simple answer was at the end of long supply chain and unattached to large close by markets the car industry was becoming unsustainable in the face of imports that better matched what the public was wanting to buy and the costs of investment meant retooling was impossible. Who would pay?

We did not have economies of scale in suppliers nor vast local markets. It was as if three car manufacturers were making artisan cars for a single New York sized city, population wise but spread over a continent.

If anything it is amazing they lasted as long as they could, car making here was expensive and not efficient financially if you expect a return on investment.

Both the Ford & Holden design centres are still operating here in Australia.

Says something about both those teams....... Cool

Both produced their finest cars (world class) in the last models imo and then they shut shop and ran..... Huh

So how come germany can sustain a highly unionized car manufacturing industry and export luxury cars to Australia and the rest of the world ? Perhaps the key is that Germans own those brands and can export them to anywhere they like but we own nothing and take our orders from detroit and tokyo which was always going to end up a disaster !
