There&#8217;s already automotive unrest with one major Sydney based dealer advertising cars once intended for fleet buyers being made available for the private buyer at fleet prices while the Australian Salary Packaging Industry Association is also hitting out with online ads asking &#8220;who&#8217;s next&#8221;. There are some that claim the changes are good for the industry, which may be all well and good but the effects are tangible already with real and confirmed job cuts. With our economy at a standstill, pretty much pending the result of September 7, Aussie families don&#8217;t need this extra burden.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter note somewhat, a couple of Holden designers have been beavering away behind the scenes on what could be a new Monaro. Based on a combination of VE and VF smarts, it&#8217;s a design study, at this stage and highly unlikely to see real world production.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Holden-VF-Monaro-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2929\" alt=\"Holden-VF-Monaro-1\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Holden-VF-Monaro-1-300x178.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/ipoteka.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/ipoteka.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not unexpectedly, the proposed changes for fleet vehicle Fringe Benefit Tax has had more fallout, with Kevin Rudd stating that the current Opposition leader, Tony Abbott, will kill the flailing Australian car manufacturing industry by allegedly cutting government funding whereas Mr Abbott claims that his proposed tax cut policy will actually help: http:\/\/news.drive.com.au\/drive\/motor-news\/coalition-rules-out-further-funding-for-car-industry-20130822-2sdgb.html and http:\/\/finance.ninemsn.com.au\/newsbusiness\/8711026\/abbott-will-kill-car-industry-says-rudd [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-buy-new-car"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2927"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14887,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2927\/revisions\/14887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
