According to Wheels the end is near...

Seriously hope they've ballsed this up. Either way I'm sure the 'official statement' won't be great news.

The ABC news just reported briefly that the AMWU has said that Ford is stopping production. It was only a brief report but it sounded like that production was going to stop rather suddenly. Hopefully not the case.

Official announcment any minute. 2500 jobs buf reports

Does this mean our FGII XR6Ts just went up in value??!!

Sorry, silver lining

Media conference at 9:15. Possibly 2500 job losses.

Terrible news.

Will make things a sh*tload harder for Expensive Daewoo too as they share a lot of common component manufacturers/suppliers.

I guess it's always been inevitable but it's still an absolute bloody shame.

edit...apparently they are going to release a statement soon, media conference later on.

Oh well that's big business boys

It'll be a lot more than 2500...the two five will be from Ford but it'll be untold from other component manufactures...

...Here's one we prepared earlier.
