German Cars are all over Melbourne now

VW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche. 

German engineered but built in Thailand or who knows where these days.

GM and Ford really left Australia with nothing if you reflect upon it. With the wonderful benefit of hindsight we would have been better concentrating on design and having the cars built elsewhere. Then again English designed cars aren't exactly smashing it on the world stage.

    Still German Companies though, subsidised by the German Governments. 
     

    we should have kept one Car Maker in Australia, 3 was too many. 
    Assembly Plants are in Asia. The Economies over there allow lower wages

    where are the GM products?

    Seriously i see about 2 a week now. 
     

    Not really. We've sold about 10,000 more cars than them year to date, which is a fair bit in the Aussie market. In recent months though they've been selling around 3,000 cars a month which is about the numbers we're doing.

    Most likely could have kept Holden here, but Joe Hockey and Abbot played chicken with GM and lost...Or maybe this is what they wanted?

    I am not doubting your figures, but i am suprised. 
    i do not see GM products on the road anymore, and and as a 60’s baby, they used to be everywhere in the City and the Country

    Abbott had no intention of keeping the Industry going. 
    His Fleet of Cars when he was Sworn in were all 7 Series BMW’s

    That was the Death Knell right there

    My Jag V12 is a little thirty on the benzine.

    When I’m out shopping I usually just go with the rickshaw and to hell with speed limit.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
