Show me a modern car with 100% Aussie content. Hell, show me one with 75%, 60%!
Engine parts from another country, whole trans from either Europe or America, audio system? Electronics could be from a number of countries, airbags os. Is the trim still made in Australia? I remember Holden's moving it offshore about 10 years ago.
Sorry, but the only thing traditional at an Aussie car manufacturer these days is the meat pies & the footy sponsorship, the rest has gone global.
