This sharing of models proved unpopular with buyers, and also with manufacturers, each of which kept the best models in the relevant ranges for itself.<ref>{{cite web | last = Lake | first = Barry | date = 26 May 2000 | url = http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8550&vf=1 | title = Union ... and demarcation | accessdate = 10 March 2008 | archive-date = 28 May 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080528150827/http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=8550&vf=1 | url-status = dead }}</ref> Consequently, the original models outsold their badge-engineered counterparts; for example, the Toyota Corolla and Camry outsold the Holden Nova and Apollo seven to one.<ref>{{cite book | last = Earl | first = Peter | year = 2002 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=RUi7FJ4pRsEC | title = Information, Opportunism and Economic Coordination | location = [[Cheltenham]], United Kingdom | publisher = [[Edward Elgar Publishing]] | page = 32 | isbn = 1-84064-738-8}}</ref> The last of such models, the Toyota Lexcen (Holden Commodore), was dropped in 1997. 

Rather than share locally assembled models with other manufacturers, Holden, [[Ford Motor Company of Australia|Ford]] and [[Toyota]] decided to import fully built-up models from subsidiaries elsewhere in the world, mainly Europe and Japan. 

[[Nissan]] ended car manufacturing in Australia completely in 1994. [[Mitsubishi Motors]], which did not share any models with other manufacturers during the period of the plan, ended Australian manufacturing in 2008. Ford ceased Australian production in 2016, whereas Holden and Toyota did so in 2017, leaving no large scale, mass market Australian production of cars.
