Sad for the workers, but we all rejoiced in this technology at the time and still do!

I would imagine that same kind of excitement if it eventuated and we can pick up any car from around the world
brand new for half price.

In this case I could give less than a stuff about Ford, Holden or any company that has making good money of us.
They have had it all to themselves for ever and now the time has come and we have front row seats to witness
this transformation.

They too will need to step up and compete and make the GT335 $24999, YEAH!

If they can't do that, then we will have no choice but to buy M3s, Skylines etc... as the op said.

But, it's another bloody hypopathetical
i do realise its only a hypothetical, but its a very selfish way to look at things. there is no way ford or holden could build their cars a lot cheaper. they don't make a lot of profit on each unit. there's no way they coud shave 45k off the price of a GT. thousands of people would be out of work due to the industry shutting down or moving off shore.
