Engine parts from another country, whole trans from either Europe or America, audio system? Electronics could be from a number of countries, airbags os. Is the trim still made in Australia? I remember Holden's moving it offshore about 10 years ago.
Sorry, but the only thing traditional at an Aussie car manufacturer these days is the meat pies & the footy sponsorship, the rest has gone global.

Yup Your partially right. A lot of content are from overseas but there again a lot is from australia and a lot of jobs are dependant on the vehicles continuing to be built here in Australia.
Having said all of that, I would still buy a Focus and actually did for the missus. Sport model is probably the pick of the bunch. Great level of features and the best ride/handling package of the bunch. Sorry but the Cruze is not on the same page. If you're wanting to compare, try the golf.
The rest of the competition are stuck in third.
