End of the Road?: Penguin Special
Australia is one of just thirteen countries in the world equipped to take a car from design concept all the way to a showroom -- an achievement not to be let go of lightly. As Gideon Haigh shows in this engaging analysis for the lay reader, the industry has become a whetstone for various ideological axes, clouding the argument.

Description
Australia is one of just thirteen countries in the world equipped to take a car from design concept all the way to a showroom—a remarkable achievement in a market so small. Yet the industry has few friends and many vociferous critics who argue that the country should not make cars at all.
In this engaging and insightful analysis for the lay reader, Gideon Haigh explains why the industry has become an ideological battleground and reveals the more complex and surprising truth behind the partisan rhetoric.
End of the Road?: Penguin Special delves into the heart of this debate, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges facing Australia's automotive industry.
