Who knows if Toyota was still here it could of been building the Hilux. They can't keep up with demand now.

Let it go production here is finished
Blaming the Libs is a very one eyed view, and you can't refer to the 80s for inspiration
Despite what you say - Holden didn't commit it would have been stupid for our Government to send Money to Detroit for no Local Benefit
Toyota would never have Built Hilux here.
