What if Ford and Holden merged ??
Holden could produce the base model cars. Omega and Berlina. FORD produce the luxury models, GSE, GSE Turbo. Statesman rebadged as Fairlane and Caprice as LTD. Barina badged as KA. Viva, Astra, Epica scrapped replaced by FIESTA, FOCUS and Mondeo. Sport models FORD entry level and HSV the luxury models. just thinking of what might be. Maybe a JD's too many !!

alot a badging has been done over the years.... so anything is possible but it still makes me shudder at the thought.....
Holden is the king of badging just to get sales and keep their people working Who can forget the Toyota Lexcen or the Holden Apollo....... Holden VS Ford could be a thing of the past.... What will the masses do now???? I think I need a drink just thinking about it!!!!!
