This will put Ford and Holden under a lot of pressure - with many fleet buyers (including the government) looking at a locally produced hybrid cars, this will cost the Falcon and Commodore sales

Good to see Rudd giving a Japanese car manufacturer (Toyota) a helping hand in Australia. I wonder what he'll offer Ford and Holden now the benchmark has been set.

Kevin Rudd is a nob, giving toyota 35 mill that Ford or Holden could use to help keep these established Austalian companies strong. Glad i didn't vote for this Asian loving pope-wannabe.
