They won't stop selling cars, just making them in OZ.

What happens with people like me who have always bought Australian made cars, and always will?

We'll go elsewhere.
Ford Oz tried building Lasers here from 1981-1994. In 81 it made sense, around the time of the fuel crisis. By 94 however, Ford was still selling Falcons in large numbers and it made more financial sense to import their small cars from overseas.

They were way ahead of the game, but then it changed, and now it's changed again...however Australia, and the rest of the world is now a very different place.
