silverchris Member 129 Member For: 21y 3m 17d Location: Bulleen, Vic Posted 05/03/07 07:34 AM Share Posted 05/03/07 07:34 AM That's what they get for being a single model car building company. Now they import just about every model from Korea and rely on the falling sales of the Late model camira they will eventually be in bigger trouble unless they get big order numbers from the US for the G8 and can start making Monaros again.Ford's in the same boat. Even though it has Falcon and Territory in local production, they won't last unless then can sell the Orion overseas in more than the little numbers then sell to NZ and South Africa.I'm sure both Expensive Daewoo and Ford are looking at strategies to keep them viable in Australia as manufacturers and unfortunately layoffs is probably among those.I hope the people being retrenched get looked after and find other jobs because it's a sh1t thing to happen to anyone.

Afterall with all that money saved, it's got to go into some crooks ahh execs paypacket.I like how they stated it as more efficient production, not the fact the VE is tanking like all big cars.
