Slowly but steadily, we have gone from being a brotherly nation looking our for our neighbours and community, to an every-man-for-himself society laden with selfishness, apathy and narcissicism - and in many ways, the popular Eurosnob cars of today reflect that change.

I was speaking to a big ford dealer mate of mine and he acknowledged their marketing team was shit and has been since before the FG. You cannot sell without advertising! Then even the best articles written on the falcon always state "but no one wants it". If you're buying a car people believe the crap written in papers, just look at the mitsubishi 380. A great car that was killed before it left the factory.
There are so many reasons this was on the cards, most have already been mentioned, but at the end of the day its incredibly sad for those workers and all those suppliers.
Once again the government and "society" dont particularly care about the car community, in any way.
A very sad day in the history of Australian Culture
