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,

Spent all my working life in sales and if it does not sell more you don't do it.

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"

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.

Actually saw one last night here in Hobart. Beautiful looking car.

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.

Not suprised at all, if that happened 

So now that jag have signed on will we be wearing the same jumper next year? And if not when will the 2020 jumper be available?

Not true, but not as far from the truth as I would like :(

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

Seems odd going into a new season with the same jumper

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
