X2. Hence the reason I'm about to sign a lease on a new (OK, it is a MY12) XR6 turbo for less than $40K.

I think its a very real possibility that between 10 and 20 years from now Holden manufacturing could cease to exist in this country, way too many imports and competition. As much as I am a holden tragic I wouldnt touch any of their smaller 4cyl cars (euro based) and the market seems to be either small car or 4wd both of which I think the Japanese do it better pricing for parts serving etc are more reasonable than the more expensive euro badged cars. I just wonder how it would effect Holden in the V8 Supercars I know they are all the same and its far from something you can buy from a dealer but do the rules state that has to be a car available to the public ie: Commodore from the dealers. Maybe they would have to use a American GM v8 based model similar to what Dick Johnson did when Ford stopped manufacturing V8's in the 80's and he imported I think from memory a Ford Mustang before he got into the Sierras.
