The Magna has not stood the test of the marketplace. Go to used car auctions and note the prices paid for Magnas against equivalent Commodores and Falcons. Commodores are dearest, followed by Falcons, and Magnas way behind. Many used dealers wont have one in the yard, and once about 8 years old generally only wreckers bid on them. An 8-10 year old Magna fetches about 1/3 what a Commodore will.

Isn't that the appeal?

Sounds like some of u missed out on holdens plans to have parts manufactured in China, eventually its possible that holden and ford respectively will have there cars manufactured in china as the red tape here with keeping a big biz like that going without all the iterference is getting harder, too many restaints just making things unprofitable, everything is made in china now, even woolies veges come from China, I loveit when the holden and ford camps get going, u can bloody well near start a war, bring back the valiant it was the car that kept them all on there toes, the old 265 charger if it had a fourth gear on the track would have probably flogged the HO Ford, then new A9X that was on the boards prior to Evan Green opening his trap and killing the supercars would have flogged them all, Fords great Ph4 XA GT would have been a sight to see on the track, how fast it would have gone down conrod was not known. guessed but not known. But u can bet it would blow the doors of a Landy and probably a myriad of other parts as well, enuff of this Holden and Ford ****, back to Landy chatter please, by the way I own 2 Fords a 2000 AU and a lovely 78 Fairlane with the finest V8 ever made, would happily blow the AU up but the old Fairlane is sweet..

Who bought up Magnas? thought u were pulling the **** out the Fords and Holdens
