Couriers are not made in Australia.

I'd hardly call it a "boom"... 1400 units.

This time last year the Adventra was a V8 model only. With the addition of the Alloytech V6 engine the sales have increased.

Dont think the industry is going to set a record in new car sales this year if the trend continues.

Adventra's are far from a piece of ****, thats just being way biased.

They are actually a damn nice chunk of metal to drive, with rear whee biased AWD which akes em feel nice on the road, a VERY nice cabin in the LX6 and a great looking car.

Before anyone jumps in and says the sales figures don't read this. The Adventra and Territory are in two totally different market's one is just a jacked up wagon and the other is a full on SUV.

I would love to see the Adventra continue on after the captive comes in as they are different aplications, but I can't see this happening. V8 model has ben dropped now so the V6's are holding a lot more ground.

I agree. Ford sold more Aussie-made cars than any other - a great return on the BA investment of 500,000 gorillas a few years ago. I remember Polites at the time syaing he didn't care if Ford sold more or less cars than Holden and Toyota, as long as they made money. These figures are good for Oz Ford's profitability.

PS - on these figures, it's actually FORD that means a great deal to Australia.

Face the facts, no one wants them. Holden will soon discontinue them and add up how much money they lost on it.

How much of the R&D from the Adventra will be used in VE and other such projetcs? I am sure they used it for the crewman and coupe4, so maybe it isn't as big a loss as some may think.

I remember about 5 years ago and how Holden was being touted as the GM crown jewels and to a certain extent they are. But the other interesting thing was that they also said they had a plan for continued market leadership and would build it up to 25%...

Going on these figures, they might make 16%. Compared to this time last year, Holden were only 3000 units short of Toyota, now 20000 units.

The AWD project has been a total failure for Holden. They spent a few hundred million on it and struggled to sell them. The Adventra and Crewman will most likely be dropped within the next year or two leaving Holden without a local made AWD. I doubt wether any VE models will have AWD.

It won't. That is where the imported Daewoo Craptiva model will take over from the local VZ based AWD models.
