So a company starts to reduce its discounts to make each vehicle more profitable and it means that the 'bottom line is biting hard'?
All that is happening is that local Cruze production and exports being ramped up at Elizabeth is taking a massive amount of pressure off domestic Commodore sales to sell x amount of thousand a month to keep the factory viable.
Ford will probably do similar once Territory comes online, as hopefully big sales of it will take pressure off the Falcon and the heavy discounting and pushing on to rental fleets it has at the moment. There are some stupidly good prices on Falcons at the moment, easily a couple of grand cheaper than the equivalent discounted Commodore.
