Thanks Russ.

Its interesting when you look at Ranger sales following Fords manufacturing closure in Australia, numbers dropped considerably over the following months and took 12 months before they rebounded to the same point as pre closure, would it be fair to assume this was due to people buying up the last locally made products and not the imports for those 12 months.

Now look at Commodore sales, they had a significant boost in sales in the month leading up to closure which could be attributed to people getting in before it was too late, then a significant drop until ZB came online and whilst i dont expect they'll ever reach the heights of locally built versions again, the ZB has stabilised in the short term.

As we are now at 12 months since closure for Holden, the same time it took people to pull out their wallets again for Ranger post closure, will we see an increase in ZB sales over the next 6 to 12 months as people look to move on from their then very used VF2's?
