It really turned toxic when the government called Holden's bluff by removing
$500 million from local industry funding, that was the last straw, not Ford leaving.

Ford left because it was past due leaving, the FG was really the last miracle save,
without funding for the top hat, Ford would have just done BFIII and left by 2011
