Good luck to all staff & best wishes for greener pastures overseas or in other areas, if they want this. And I wish Australia had an Australian owned car builder that was patriotic and dedicated to designing building from here for the world on their own terms. Subs and frigates will have to do for now.
Thankfully the Taurus failed. Pity the Taurus inspired AU design was already locked in before Dearborn realised the AU was as popular as an Edsel.
