You must be one of the few who has, Cheap Deal?

I like my car's to have a bit of grunt and nothing got close in my price range. Also think they are under rated. All of a sudden is not cool to own a Holden. But my black beauty goes well and rocks my boat when I look at it the drive way.

    Well that’s what counts. I think GM were wrong to continue the Holden Badge on European Opels. 
    Many Holden owners find the whole thing offensive 

    Ford were smart. The Mustang was already an icon

    Is that a good thing? Sounds dangerous to me.

    If the Ranger didn't sell, Ford would be in a much worse position than Holden. It's the only car they can sell.

    Both the Ranger and The Mustang are selling. 
    I don’t think the Commodore is at all, partly because of its name. Rusted on GMH customers won’t touch them

    it surprises me why some car companies bother with sponsorship of AFL teams. Take Jeep as an example in spite of being with Richmond for the last five years and winning 2 flags their sales continue to dive. You could say what would their sales be without Richmond? The same IMO. 

    Exposure OD. Brand building, Recognition. Demographics

    Premierships are nice but its not all about that for sponsors,

    Imagine actually choosing to buy a Jeep.

    Easily the worst least reliable cars on the market.

    Spotting a new Jag on the road is a fairly rare event

     

    At that price point most people buy a BMW

    When I was studying marketing (a long time ago) they said that "We know that about half of all advertising works, but nobody knows which half"

    Sales: "we need to sell more sh*t"
    Accountant: "sounds good to me"

     

    Marketing: "we need to increase our brand awareness, leverage our synergy, innovate across our categories, and become an integral part of our customers' success stories. Oh yes, and something something social media."
    Accountant: "well ... if you say so ... it sounds like bulldust to me ..."
    Marketing: "and we'll get a corporate box at the G"
    Accountant: "deal"

    They sold 437 Mustangs in September, not exactly huge numbers. Ranger they absolutely knock out of the park. If they sold them at Colorado numbers they would be in serious strife.  Every single one of their other carlines are terrible sellers. 

    Holden has given up on Commodore and is pretty much just waiting for its commitments to Opel to expire out so it can stop importing them. Full disclosure, I work for Holden.

    I am glad the Commodore is going. It is almost offensive to see them on the road, considering what they really are. 
    i see heaps  of Mustangs on the road where i live, so i am only going on sight, that said, they do get noticed. 
    Rangers probably pass me all day, i don’t notice them. They are a fake 4wd that have sadly killed the wagon. 
    And  are much harder to get in and out of for older people.

    The VB Commodore shared the same design as the Opel. 1977 Opel Commodore was a thing before we produced them in Australia. And now that GM have sold Opel to Peugeot, that will stop Holden badges going on Opels.

    Yes i know the history of the original Commodores. They needed Australian running gear in them, to survive out here, even if they looked the same. 
    Were never that good towing heavy loads (the chassis would often bend in the middle). 
    The Commodore became Australian and it is sad they were discontinued. The final Commodore was an excellent Car. 
    I bought Mazda Rotary’s back when Australian’s didn’t know what they were. They were great days

    Always loved the Jaguar though, and very happy (albeit a little suprised) they have stuck with us for another year.

    As an aside Jaguar are owned by Tata a massive Indian conglomerate. I think it's now run by the grandchildren of the original founder. Almost every truck in India is a Tata.

    Anyway not so many years ago (2008) Tata announced that they would build a car for the masses of India that would be very affordable. Price around $2k. They called it the Nano. In 2018 the project was cancelled after selling three cars. It out Edselled the Edsell not to mention the P76.

    I would've thought it would be the same as this years.

    Seems odd going into a new season with the same jumper

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
