So, now we really are left to wonder what she’ll they’ll use in the V8’s going forward...
And the Astra has been axed too - not many models left for them to sell - Astra was their biggest selling small car at one stage.
So, that leaves Trax, Arcadia and Equinox as the only cars and the Colorado and Trailblazer. Not much of a lineup left for the Dealers to flog. That cuts over 9,000 sales out assuming current levels, so the company is well and truly on its way to being completely ****ed and disappearing for good. Can’t see Dealers managing to keep their doors open selling that line up. The cars are all dismal - we have the Equinox’s at work - Glad I drive a Hilux is all I have to say to that. It’s worse than the Craptiva if that is at all possible.
So, who’s running a book on when Holden collapses in on itself entirely and goes belly up? I’ll put a fiver on September 20, 2020... 😁
ROFL. Daewoo anyone. [emoji23][emoji1787]Quote:

In any case, considering most cars these days are sharing the same same stable as the competition, it all becomes irrelevant.
What's ya fav colour?? That's what it comes down too. Oh, and of course the totally important aspect of any new car these days, is, Apple or Android.....and cup holders!
Big sad ****in sigh!
Nope, not a good range at all, I get that.Quote:

Anyway,...the future?....I don't know. Martin.

Thought I did, must have missed that - GG will be rolling his eyes and shaking his head... 😁
The base cars for the Astra and ‘Commodore’ were sold off to Peugeot. GM no longer has right to sell them so they are removed from product line up. Not unexpected.
Not so much lost the right to sell, probably more to the point, why send money outside the parent group for minimal return?Quote:
