Spot on the money, I think someone on here had a figure on what kind of tax revenue Ford Australia generates for the Federal Government, it runs into the millions. And at the end of the day it's not all about that, for Ford Australia to shut its manufacturing arm in Australia, it's not just the direct Ford employees jobs that go, it's the indirect jobs that benefit from Ford having operations in Australia, this would no doubt run into thousands of jobs.

It's pretty amusing though, considering the XR8 next year will be reborn with the same spec engine as the FG GT, could you imagine being a HSV owner forking out all that money on a brand new GTS, then pulling up to the lights next to a FH XR8 and then sitting side by side all the way to 100 and beyond

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.
