I would Like to say one thing, on the dollar values of cars in Australia, as compared to other countries, what we get here in Australia as a base model (lets say ford focus) other countries would not touch. We get the most basic of basic cars sent to us from other countries.
Or as my Mate Greg says, here in Australia we get all the crap, that other countries would not touch. The only reason Holdens and Fords are soo so cheap as copared to imports, is the Australian government raises the tariffs on imports to put us Australians off from buying them, keeping the Australian dollar in Australia, not raising the foreign debt. This also keeps Australian jobs safe. Where over in New Zealand they don't seem to care as they don't make to many cars, so there isn't many jobs to try to protect. There are not many countries in the world where lets say (Walker exhausts) who went on strike recently, could shut production down on Fords, Holdens and Nissans. Because they could not sourse exhausts from anywhere else, the government had to interveen to get the people at walker their pay rises so that the car manufacturers did not go broke, due to lack of cars leaving the plants to be sold. How sad is that? Later.
