Holden on Friday rolled its last Commodore off the assembly line, ending almost 70 years of vehicle production in Australia and more than 50 at its Elizabeth facilities in Adelaide's north.

Its demise as a car maker follows similar shutdowns by Mitsubishi in 2008, Ford last year and Toyota earlier this month, with the local industry succumbing to changing market conditions and global economic pressures.

Lack of demand, the high Australian dollar and increasing costs led to the demise of the car making business Down Under.

Aussie buyers also turned to fuel-efficient small cars and SUVs away from big hulking pick-ups and saloons.

And homegrown SUVs proved unpopular, customers instead preferring imported Toyotas, Fords, Hyundais and Mazdas.

Holden was better known for its high-powered saloons with the Commodore shipped to the UK and sold as the Vauxhall VXR8.

Holden,owned by General Motors will now move production of its global cars to Germany.

Some workers will stay on in Aussie design studios while the 200-strong dealer network will remain.

But the demise has left thousands hunting for new jobs with the Aussie government investing in building army boats and submarines to help boost the local economy.

Hundreds of jobless workers met at the factory to wave goodbye to the iconic brand where they posed for photos outside the factory to commemorate the last model.

Across seven decades of building cars in Australia,Holden produced almost 7.7 million cars,the largest of any of the local manufacturers, including 2.3 million Commodores.

Before its closure in 2016 Ford had produced 5.9 million vehicles, and Toyota's tally had reached 3.4 million when it locked the gates on his Melbourne manufacturing operations two weeks ago.

Ask buhari!

i started seeing Holden cars after I relocated to Australia . Holden and Astra are very popular brands in Australia. The car making industry has been revolutionised. They didn't compete in larger markets as they focused primarily in their domestic market.

This is wonderful!

Wey innosson just dey start...

Who cares.. if them like let them close the country sef.

*Personal Prediction* In the near future, Australia's economy won't support heavy manufacturing. It would be based on services - finance. It government needs to relax banking laws. Economists 're welcome 2 dis debate.

As much as you do some kinds of investment, I'll also advise we do real estate property investments too. You'll always get it right here because it keeps appreciating, especially in some good locations that is guaranteed fast appreciation and high ROI like Ibeju-Lekki and Ajah. We have as cheap as N700k on promo that ends this October in this Ibeju-Lekki axis with all relevant paper based on current status. A particular land in Ibeju-Lekki that my clients bought 3 plots from around This year March @N700k is presently N2.5m. You don't want to ask me his cone such appreciation. Well, that's why the rich are getting richer. Rover Kiyosaki and Donald do a lot if Real Estate and they became billionaires through this. They jeep advising those who gave the means and have privilege of such info as this to do this more often to guarantee a comfortable future for our family. It may surprise you to know that many in diaspora are l accumulating a lot of this. Check my signature for More details sir.
