Default Would you buy a last aussie commodore?

When i bought my fgx xr8 i bought a late 15 model. I honestly thought that as we got closer to final builds staff would care less and less.. surely they are more worried about their future than screwing together a falcon. They have commitments and bills to pay after all. As in any business if you dont buy into the employees, they arent likely to buy in..it has to weigh on them more and more the closer to closure.

If you were on the titanic, as its sinking would you worry if the crockery was clean? Toilet seat down? Not much different at ford or holden id say, self preservation will impact their behaviour.

With regard to last aussie commodore, holden HR department have openly said to employees its better to jump early in order secure a job than wait to closure..

Other businesses have even come into holden manufacturing, invited in fact to poach the best employees. They have been let go with holdens blessings ahead of closure..encouraged by holden HR.

So if all the good employees are going first and holden are proactive in finding work for these people (which is a great initiative from holden), who is left to screw together the last cars?

Id be real nervous if i was waiting for a last build car, all the best employees with "know how" are already gone, they prob have anyone they can find to finish the last cars, all of em "Friday afternoon cars"

I think they are nice cars but id absolutely prefer a 16 build vf commodore over a 17 build.

Like the fgx, surely the 15 builds would be better.
