Supposedly this is scheduled for a 2013 Q1 launch
It should be an absolute gamechanger in the industry!
Imagine driving a brand new Corolla for say $400 a month.. No more to pay. Then get a new one for the same money in 3 years time..

Please, please, don't wish that upon me. I can't concieve of anything worse than being stuck with whitegoods trying to pass its self off as a car. Well I can, but that involves hair removal with paint stripper.
Back on topic. As long time Holden/GM owner, fan, mechanic, I'm always pleased to see henry getting screwed.
BUT I am concerned with the loss of jobs & capability in this country.
We used to make so, so much in Australia. Now we're a nation of raw materials exporters. And that saddens me.
