Great Post!
Nothing is more harmful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army superiority over another.

“Chrysler Australia will continue to provide quality motor vehicles…”

When did they ever start?

i dont care, ive got 2 other cars, a dodge caliber i had for the last 3 years which is still magnificent and had no problems not even a single one, and a suzuki Liana GS hatch (also a rare car) that has been with me for the last six years which has been problem free as well (only brake pads and tyres were replaced), again I just wanna be different, if it’s broken i’ll have it fixed

“Holden and Ford still have their heads buried in the sand and continue to produce fuel guzzling dinosaurs.” I agree with you about Holden, the Commodore is disgracefully outdated allready and the 4 speed auto is a hideous joke on the Australian public. However, the Falcon cannot fairly be labelled as fuel guzzling, it uses less fuel than Camry!

Also, the 300C, which I think looks very very good, is built off the Mercedes Benz E Class platform.

How different will you feel when you take a number and line up with everyone else at your Jeep dealer waiting for your warranty repairs??

Damian,
The Falcon isn’t a global product, yes the Commodore is sold in other countries, but many of those do not have a large diesel demand. Obviously it is going to take time to get a diesel ready. Just because Chrysler made good use out of the Mercedes parts bin, doesn’t mean they are a more advanced car company. If it wasn’t for Mercedes, Chrysler would have been gone a long time ago.

“Damien, are you aware that Holden and Ford are working on their diesel plans right now?”

Yes, I am well aware of Ford and Holden’s upcoming diesel projects. Sadly, such developments are just a knee jerk reaction to tough times, and further illustrates my point that our local manufacturers are way behind the eight ball.

Not that long ago, Ford was sprouting bullsh*t rhetoric about LPG being more viable than diesel. If this was the case, there wouldn’t be a diesel Territory and Falcon in the pipeline.

We should see diesel powered Falcons, Territories and Commodores in about 1 year.

So, will the Sebring be available for $10000?
