There you go it does say Saudi Arabia
Way too much rubber on the rims for an SS
I totally agree with that. With the success that Chrysler has had with the V8/RWD combo lately, it just makes me wonder why GM wouldn't try to market that car here. And by market...I don't mean the way they "marketed" our GTOs.Jontall said:That's the best looking Chevy I've seen in a long time (Corvette excluded).
I don't think Holden has the capacity to export 100,000 VE's per year to the USA.DamienChaos said:I totally agree with that.

They should send 'em here instead!
i agree, but im a Holden Fan Through and through, even if i get ridd of my Monaro i will still put HRT stickers on my truck, we need more holdens here in the USADesertraptor said:If Holden was too produce those sort of numbers for the US market what would it do to Detroit?
I have no problem with it as it would boost our economy big time and remove any thoughts of Holden going under but in todays economic environment I think we (both Aus and the US) are getting screwed by the Asian market to the point where we are loosing too many local jobs.

yes but how much time is needed to bring the "guns" economy up to speed so that you can 'defend" yourself!!itsme4g63 said:technically eys and no, we can produce everything by ourselves, just not at the low cost like the Chinese can for us. The government currently has hundreds of davenport screw machines on standby in a gigantic warehouse (to manufacture bullet rounds and such) just in case of a war.
I agree. We are well on the way to becoming a truly internationally competitive economy...............of waiters, tourism operators, and builders....mmciau said:yes but how much time is needed to bring the "guns" economy up to speed so that you can 'defend" yourself!!
It's not just the equipment, it's the skilled workforce to keep the machines running!!
Australia is in much the same situation - all the manufacturing facilities that can go from butter to guns is now 'lost and or archaic"
