Default Post 2017 - Predict the future - What car(s) will you actually BUY?

Hey guys,

Been a while since i've started a topic around here, but had a bit of discussion with some friends over the weekend about the new car market in Australia POST 2017.

Now that Toyota has confirmed the inevitable, sadly all local car manufacturing will cease in this country.

So fast-forward to post 2017 - what would you actually consider buying???

And while you are pondering the future - think about these questions and answer whatever you like............

* Would you consider an 'imported' similar equivalent to the Falcon or Commodore?

* What other makes/models would you consider as a substitute to our extinct Aussie cars?

* What will replace the current fleet of Taxi's and government vehicles in this country?

* Would you be willing to spend more time/money on upkeep, maintenance, customization, modifications, etc on your 'old' Falcon or Commodore?

* Would you support the V8 Supercars racing category that includes no local cars at all? Would this be better or worse for the brand?

* Would you support the Muscle Car Masters or another racing category (more or less) once the V8 Supercars stop racing the Falcon / Commodore?

Sure - I've probably missed a few points (though feel free to bring them up) and yes there are some variables that I haven't really allowed for in there too...

But I think it would be an interesting discussion to have, and I also think quite a broad perspective.........

Go for it!
