I would be happy to have any one of those cars today - actually, you can keep the VT, a good car but an AU is a far better car. The LX is the one I should never have sold.

I hope all of those directly and indirectly employed by Holden find work quickly.
The issue with engineers in the automotive industry is they seem to be hired on a temp/casual basis for projects then they get let go between projects - there's no more perminent full time work for them available, if there is its rare as hens teeth.
