    Really? I don’t know a ton about this, but it looks like American and Japanese manufacturers are the only ones to have ever operated in Australia

      I’m not super into cars, but it’s my understanding Holden was a local manufacturer that got bought out by GM? Or if not that, then they were making specifically Australian vehicles despite being part of GM, much like Ford Australia used to. Both ended up shutting down operations down here, so now we have nothing local.

      We had Australian made and designed cars, then gm bought out Holden and ran it into the ground before shuttering the brand entirely.
