If Aussie large cars were $10K more

Whilst there are many claimed reasons for closing down local manufacturing, I still believe lack of profitability is the ultimate reason.

Anyone who owns a brand new Commodore/Falcon/Territory says they are world class cars, from design to build quality.

So looking at the topic from another angle, what if these cars were $10K more, which is probably the extra sell price needed to continue local manufacturing, as well as increased marketing.

Even though there is a global trend for smaller cars, there is also a trend for SUVs and large cars are still selling (other manufactures). Look at Jeep as an example, i dont believe they have any better build quality then our own (and i am sure there will be many that would say Jeep's quality is nothing like ours), yet there marketing campaign makes you want to jump on board.

Just like any organisation, you need a high enough sell price to make a profit, to then re-invest.

So whilst we can talk about other factors, if our cars were $10K more, would you buy them?
