Not hugely reliable sources say Bolt EV is now in retail production. 9 cars/hr for now.

Wife is moving from the Sonic to a Cruze Hatchback. Got the money put down this weekend, seeing if they can find one with the options. Nightfall Metallic Gray, RS, Sound and Sun, and Enhanced Convenient Packages, black interior. We are definitely excited to be moving into a more technically enhanced car. I think she is just excited to have a heated steering wheel...

You let the manufactures go bankrupt as you cease buying new cars, creating a vacuum for someone to reopen the plant locally.

You're kidding, right? GM, Ford, and Toyota can all easily afford to lose every single one of their sales in Australia today without going bankrupt. As time goes on, the global market will grow a lot faster than Australias making it less and less important in comparision to places like Brazil, China, India, and Indonesia. Plus, most potential buyers wouldn't boycott them. At least 85% of cars bought in Australia are imports anyways -including every single car sold by anyone other than Toyota, Ford, and GM. A lot of people might say they would boycott these companies, but odds are such people weren't going to be buying a new car anyways.

After that disastrous October for Ford, Chevrolet is once again the top selling brand in the country.

I think with both Ford and GM leaving it would be neat to see a home grown car company form and start making RWD cars with V8's in them. Probably not very likely to happen though unfortunately.

Its like the late 90's all over again with trucks and SUV's selling big and cheap gas. Its not sustainable, especially at the inflated prices trucks and SUV's command now. Ford its at least pulling back production, lets see if GM and FCA have learned anything about managing inventory this time around... |

- George Santayana The 2009 bailout was not the first bailout for Chrysler so hopefully they get it right this time. Third times a charm right?

On that note, after October's sales report, GM now commands 45% of the large SUV market.

Just sharing, out with the Sonic, in with the new Cruze. The wife's new 2017 Hatchback, Nightfall Gray Metallic, RS, Premium, blah blah. Only got a new miles on it, but loving it. Handling, comfort level, quietness are all very good.
