Andrew M,
Yes they pay less for 380′s (and Camrys) but $ losses per vehicle are in general order 380, Camry, Falcon, Commodore.
Aurion looks like settling around the Camry rate. All wagons are currently doing well.
Utes & corollas often don’t even lose anything (some buyers are just gullible I guess).

i feel really sorry for the workers and their famillies at the Mitsubishi plant if todays news is in fact correct….but they themselves must be the first to agree that this ugly thing won’t sell well at all!!

it must be frustrating to be working for a company that refuses to build something new and desirable.

Bret,
and i bet they paid a hell of a lot less for the 380′s than what they do for the falcons too.

if they get 15k for a 380 through the auctions dont be surprised if they are getting them for 20k new

dlr1 Says:
“And now resale values are better than those of comparable model falcons.”

Are you kidding??? SA state Govt practically give ‘em away. (Although one actually made more than $15000 the other week.)

Wheelnut,
well that is a sad day then.
i do assume we will still have their cars (380 replacement) on our roads then?
i doubt GM will build the Torana here. if they want it to be a global car then they would be better off taking it to where the economics of exporting is more viable.
i think the major exporters from this country have had to have a good look before they comitt here for their programs.
i dont think space to build the torana here would have been the prohibiting factor

Just heard on 10 news reports [TBC] that Tokyo has finally decided to close their Tonsley Park Operations in Adelaide.

if so GM-Holden shoudl look at leasing the facility inorder to build the more compact TT Torana [2010] as The Elizabeth plant is currently flat out building Commodores and the plant in Canada is flat out building Camaros
