What will be the next car brand to leave Australia?

[homerrichard]

Recent car companies such as Toyota and Hyundai have innovated their products. Well, it is not surprising if older non-escalated companies will be left out.

I haven't seen a stinking pile of **** that big since Jurassic Park came out. FFS you whinging little bitch, nobody cares about you and the millenials.

You may disagree but most of his points are valid for a lot of the population.

I reckon Honda, an Italian or French brand because they aren't really selling well and Honda's "fixed price" will be a disaster!

You're probably right to be honest. I just can't get my head around how many can afford to buy a brand new Toyota Girlie Truck at over $50K and still survive when we all seem to be so price conscious nowadays and that's where the Chinese are just shitting it in.

Why is it people love the spam this thread?

Perhaps lock it as there are no car manufacturers in either Australia or New Zealand....So it does make this thread redundant

The thread is about which car brand will be next to leave Australia, which isn’t related to where the cars themselves are manufactured.

So locking the thread because we don’t make cars down under isn’t warranted, else if we follow that logic we may as well lock all JC forums because why bother being a local car enthusiast post local manufacture shutdown

Brand to leave ........ anything Stellantis.
Brand to replace it ....... anything Chinese.

I found this an interesting read ........ https://www.whichcar.com.au/features/inside-the-dragon-the-ningde-mg-factory

Whatever you may think about Chinese cars, they will be the 'next big thing', and Australian car buyers may not have much of an alternative choice if they don't like them.
I can't see how a new 2023 Holden (if there was such a thing, EV or ICE ) being able to compete with this sort of manufacturing, which is all part of the CCP State. I don't find the cars particularly exciting or desirable at all

Can’t help but read such articles and wonder how stupid we are as a nation…

China‘s currency doesn’t float and thus isn’t directly valued by market forces so the government can be directly in control of their economy and the prices it’s manufacturing complex put out to the world. Then buy our minerals cheap as input to their manufacturing complex and we buy back manufactured goods paying a premium for their value adding… while we as a nation get further behind… China’s living standards are rising while ours are falling

If there was an idiot olympics, we’d be winning gold
