Holden will be quite happy with that, much easier to claim insurance on them than to try to sell them.

What are you doing looking at The Courier anyway??? Dodgiest paper EVER.

Knowing that the driver is okay and no one was hurt - it would have been an amusing sight to see commo's upside down all over the place!

Damn, I wish I had of known about it, it's only up the road from my house, and I had yesterday off, I would have loved to get a sight of all of those wrecked commodores, would have been a good laugh.

We'll mark that down as another 10 sales for Holden.

Isn't that where so many end up? On their rooves on the side of the road? :P

What a great conspiracy theory.
Perhaps this is why Commodore is the top selling car for most months of the year.
Holden buy them.
Ship them.
Damage them in shipment.
Write them off.
Claim on insurance.
Boast about huge sales figures.

I like it.
It makes a hell of a lot more sense than saying people actually pay money for them.

Finally the truth is out, I've never seen how they could possibly be selling 300+ Epicas a month

At least the Falcons are safe - they're sitting in the holdening yards waiting for dealer orders :
