Yeah because building 3500 units a month retailing at $20k is somehow going to be more profitable than building 3500 units retailing at $40k?

But then it would be Australian made, and so Australians would no longer buy it as it isnt imported, and so the neighbours wont be impressed.

Prediction- Drive will write at least 50 absolute rubbish stories this year based on pure speculation and poor research. Prediction- Drive will write an article a week predicting the demise of Toyota's Australian manufacturing, with made up sources saying when it will be announced. |

I love the comments about Audi claiming to reset the benchmark for affordable luxury motoring. I swear they have not changed a thing for years. Soo boring...

Very well written and extremely amusing to car nuts. Talents maybe wasted as a motoring journalist.
