What sell outs, selling cars made in Thailand wih the blue oval on them.

You bogans better storm head office.

Stagg · 20-12-2012, 09:30 AM

So will Holden be changing anything mechanically with the VF as compared to the VE?

steve.zissou · 20-12-2012, 02:17 PM

commodore or epica

Smoke Pursuit · 20-12-2012, 02:19 PM

Made for a cheap upgrade for VF... Down to the left over Epica spare parts inventory... LOL.

That headlight is near identical. VF will be released early now due to V8 supercar testing... Early to mid Feb apparently.

Gets worse, my old boss was offered them as a nco when he bought his Colorado....

Fiesta_Man69 · 20-12-2012, 06:38 PM

Irrespective: Ford would kill for VFs sales figures... doesn't matter how ordinary it is.

Yeah but that doesn't explain having them as a dealer option.

Far out.

Stagg · 20-12-2012, 08:54 PM

Honestly I think that most of the time, anyone who buys a commodore is buying a commodore for the sake of buying a commodore.

every commodore ute, sedan, wagon, HSV model and also monaro drivers all have a similar motive and that is that someone they know has a commodore

...... would they? You know this for sure? Over profit?

Quantity means diddly squat if you are not making a profit.

I didn't realise that those fiqures have been released already, how vague of me.....

Seriously I think even Holden would kill for post GFC figures, neither company would be to happy or over the moon with the figures of present.

Coz their dad had one.. their mates recommend them or they think they're Brockey. Mostly the latter.

Dealers can do whatever they want. Ford dealers aren't supposed to stick GT stripes on an XR for example.

And what would Holden do to get VX sales back.....Was almost 10,000 a month at one point

Isn't the whole "we make more by constantly making less cars" argument a bit stale now? I mean once you've cut costs where you can, the only way to boost profit is by volume. I'm sure Ford hit that point with Falcon a good two or so years ago at least.

Since then the only things they have been able to do is sack staff, and watch their supplier chain go belly up from lack of orders. Oh and Prodrive walk out the door. I don't any of that was due to some super secret formula Ford thought up for making money from less and less. It was and is simple economics.

FPV GTHO · 21-12-2012, 10:41 AM

Ford themselves actually haven't said anything about higher profit through lower numbers since they were selling over 2000 a month.

Because it's a Falcon not a Commodore

ahahaha well I bought my Fairmont because it feels a lot better to drive. My first car was a VS commodore and that thing was certainly reliable, but honestly the commodore culture turned me off. Commodores are for sheep

Or maybe they like Commodores? Here's a shock. It's the same with Falcon drivers too.

So why did they stuff around making & showing the current Commdore car of the future if it is never going to race? What a waste of time & money?

What waste of time and money?

VF is just different front and rear...pop rivited panels...panels that already exsist and cost nothing to Holden...

Supplier chains that Holden and Toyota use...oh, they have collapsed because of Ford...

Pro drive, a British company, where Europe is featuring a economic collapse...A company that is putting there money into european racing devolpments, a company that is seperate to Ford, that only had a stake in FPV?

Fords fault?

I thought the Myan calander was the only thing misunderstood today...
