    The local dealer here in Bundy is building a new showroom as we speak. Looks like lots of money being thrown at it. I will get a pic in the next day or so. It should be noted that the Holden dealer is also the Mazda and Mitsubishi dealer as well so that may have something to do with it.

    "Multi Franchise"?...I'd say that is exactly what's happening. Not many dealerships operate with only one franchise these days.
    When I worked in the Finance/Auto Industry many years ago that was an ABSOLUTE No No. I can remember when Reg Hunt's son Graeme, commenced a Ford Dealership right next to Reg's Holden Dealership,......it was like WW111 in the industry,.....but commonplace these days, in fact it's pretty much the norm.

    Correct. Many cars, and some very "upper echelon" ones, are built in 3rd world Countries these days, with VERY low costs of wages (actually of everything), which does not at all seem to affect the quality of the finished product.
