  • Destroy My Jeep ACCC New Car Retailing Industry Market Study
    Destroy My Jeep ACCC New Car Retailing Industry Market Study. New car retailing industry market study. My name is Ashton Wood and I run the Destroy My Jeep campaign. I started this campaign as a warning-shot to Fiat Chrysler Australia that I would not put up with a $50,000 lemon vehicle. This campaign ended with the total destruction of the vehicle at an event that was attended by hundreds of Queenslanders and streamed on-line to millions of people around the world. Fast-forward 2 years and I have been involved in three viral campaigns which each received worldwide attention. I have been joined by others who have experienced similar concerns and we have spoken in parliament, run petitions and pressured the ACCC to investigate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Australia (details of this investigation are at the end of this document). We have been approached by countless consumers who are being misled on their consumer rights, so with no support offered through the formal channels, we have given guidance, contacted the media and given consumers a voice through direct coverage on the Destroy My Jeep Facebook page which has resulted in over $900,000 of refunds to-date. While we are proud of our achievements, we are very concerned that everyday consumers such as ourselves have to take these matters into our own hands. We need an overhaul of the Australian Consumer Law and we need the ACCC to support the consumers who are left out in the cold when it comes to consumer protection. Below are my responses to the market study in RED: Questions on the structure and operations of the new car retailing industry 1.

  • Toyota's Willing Stooges: the Trend of Narcissism in Us
    New York Journal of Sociology, 2008, Vol. 1, pp. 92-117 NY JS TOYOTA’S WILLING STOOGES: THE TREND OF NARCISSISM IN US SOCIETY * George Lundskow Grand Valley State University This paper explores the exaltation that Toyota buyers grant the corporation, beyond simply commitment to their cars as desirable product. Although once superior in reliability, mile- age, and other measurable factors in the 1980s, American and European manufacturers have matched or exceeded Toyota in these areas. Toyota devotees still declare these areas as important, but Toyota’s following also includes a type of devotion beyond measurable quality and mileage issues. As a company, Toyota enjoys a type of uncritical acceptance that it exploits with marketing techniques that cross into the realm of propaganda. The pa- per identifies these techniques, but also argues that such techniques only succeed among a willingly submissive and willfully uncritical, i.e. emotionally devoted following premised on narcissistic insecurity and indulgence. The paper finishes with broader conclusions about contemporary American culture, specifically the search for stability and meaning. In this way, Toyota serves as only one example of a larger trend in US society. * Direct all correspondence to George Lundskow, Department of Sociology, 2170 AuSable Hall, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401 or via e-mail: [email protected] © 2008 George Lundskow. Lundskow 93 Today, Toyota enjoys a stellar reputation for quality and reliability, as well as for leading the auto industry, and society in general, towards an envi- ronmentally ‘green’ future. Far beyond the supposedly unscrupulous greed of the Detroit Three—GM, Ford, and Chrysler—Toyota voluntarily sacrifices profit for consumer satisfaction and the environment.

  • Automotive Industry Takes Lead to Support Apprenticeship Education with Launch of Multimillion Dollar Donations
    Media Release For immediate use 13 April 2015 Automotive Industry takes lead to support apprenticeship education with launch of multimillion dollar donations This evening VACC will launch a multimillion dollar donation program designed to support vocational trainers that deliver quality automotive training that meets industry needs. VACC with the support of a diverse group of vehicle manufacturers has developed the Automotive Industry Donation Program of parts, components and vehicles to assist training organisations that meet industry standards. The Program is designed to support the training of apprentices and school based VET students on the latest of technology, which is costly and difficult for trainers to secure. “The Automotive Industry Donation Program is a great example of an industry led initiative for a community outcome,” VACC Executive Director, Geoff Gwilym, said. “Stakeholders have come together to address a pressing need and the spirit of cooperation has been outstanding. Our motivation is to ensure automotive training is of the highest order and that Australia’s vehicles are as safe as possible,” Mr Gwilym said. The Program aims to assist in attracting and training more technicians, of which Registered Training Organisations and secondary schools are central to the automotive technical training resource equation. The fast pace of change in the automotive industry requires a consistent renewal of training resources in learning institutions. To date, responsibility has fallen on the places of learning which is unsustainable and creates pockets of inconsistency when cost of investment in new technology is high. “Vehicle manufacturers and VACC which represents more than 5,000 automotive businesses recognise the need to support our quality trainers with access to quality learning resources, this means having our future technicians learn their trade with current vehicle componentry and vehicles.

  • CHAIRMAN's ADDRESS to the 101St ANNUAL MEETING
    CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO THE 101st ANNUAL MEETING Ladies and Gentlemen, Results The year to June 2019 was a successful year. The trading profit after tax was down 10.9% on the previous year but it was also the second best year on record. The financial year June 2018 was exceptional as the Company benefited from a very favourable economic environment, with strong consumer and business confidence. In the last year there was a gradual change of sentiment in the face of more uncertainty. It was not a dramatic change, but it impacted on our results. In the circumstances, the directors are very pleased with the result. The total new vehicle industry for calendar year 2019 is expected to be down on 2018. The total decline is not great and the mid-term projections are for the industry numbers to level off at the current level, not continue to decline. It comes after many years of continuous increase. Headline numbers at this time of the year are heavily influenced by the seasonal purchasing of rental cars, which are not transacted through dealerships. The extra heavy truck segment of the market is expected to be minimally up on last year. Developments This last year has been a busy one for the company, with a number of long-term projects making progress or being completed. Some projects come together quickly; others are slow. With property there can be a delay while waiting for an existing lease to expire, or for resource consents to be approved. The developments can be grouped into three headings.
