Son's gf just picked up a demo Astra for basically new yaris money, just shows if ur after a cheap newish car they are out there.

Watching Ford trying to sell Focus and Escape is like watching doctor Kevorkian fish...
it looks like a sales strategy developed by a corporate accountant who has no idea that
real people actually object to being over charged for products they would otherwise buy.
Holden's problem is a much simpler one of optics, it's an Aussie icon without any Aussie products.
Most of it's former buyers have voted with their wallets and sadly, judgement day is coming.
GM effectivly killed the brand and all the easy high value sales generated from it's small
local manufacturing base.
