I think of Steve McQueen when I read the name, 'Steve McQueen".

How bizarre.



Probably the single smartest thing you've ever said on here.

Atfer the last 3 years where its just been Toyota as a factory effort, the new rules being implemented have worked. Lots and lots of manufacturers. Looks like at least 4 manufacturers and 2 privateers by 2023


Mass Production is a Super Spreader of Covid-19.
Business that is based on Quality over Quantity in Australia is a far superior and successful way, especially with online convenience now. Australia makes the best violins in the world - all handmade. The business is a success. Tight, clean and efficient.

Mass Production supports Over-Population.

Holden's biggest mistake was pumping out models not much different to competitors and with little variation in style between its own models.
Holden should have entered the 'Prestigious' and 'High Tech' market. It devalued its own vehicles to the Mass Production Line and lost.
Holden lacked imagination and thus died from boredom.

Holden's (and Ford's) issues stem largely from the fact that they misread the market.

For a lot of years, they got away with selling technologically archaic sedans and wagons ("Saloons" and "Estates") to mum and da mug punters.

They were still doing so, when the market had by and large shifted to SUVs, and only got into that space in more recent years.

Even then, Ford created the Territory as a "parts bin" special, using many of the BA/F Falcon driveline components. It took 'till the second iteration for them to offer a diesel. (Note how well those sold, when they were finally introduced - too late - to the market).

Holden was even worse.

As for Holden getting into the upmarket luxury space...not without a truckload of improvement to design, engineering and QC.

I'd be happy with a 427ci Monaro.

Yes. They both misread the market, especially from their own capabilities. Little wonder the 'Mustang' (for Ford) was the only model they concentrated on flogging to stay afloat - it 'just' worked.
Holden didn't have anything remotely 'prestige' in their line-up and went out the door with everything mass-production. Harping on about GT's, etc 'now' after the horse has bolted sums up the whole lost cause.
