NopeBut I can get it all on a holden, so at least they had a go at surviving instead of throwing their hands up and saying this is to hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMH got a lot more than both Ford and Toyota did.As all 3 companies knew that with declining sales, that none of their Australian manufacturing was going to remain sustainable... Ford and Toyota don't bring out a "technologically advanced" model, Expensive Daewoo do... I wonder what the difference was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
