Ford can't offload Ford. They are all one and the same. Having said that, Ford could decide to stop selling cars in Australia (unlikely), but Ford would still exist as a brand. Holden, if unwanted by its parent company, are unlikely to be snapped up by any other importer, so could very possibly be consigned to the history books.
as for the $50... geez, I thought I was tight.  |
I think it is folly to say that the Ford name will live on as the Holden brand goes the way of the dodo.
Ford Australia is also dead. They both died in 2016/17. Both companies are just 'marketing' as you say. We are just outposts on their spreadsheets.
