    It all seems very rushed.
    They would definitely have been "blindsided",....All decisions concerning Holden have been made by GM U.S. for many years.

    Took our tax money and just left.

    We should never allow foreign ownership of Aussie companies such as Holden

    Vauxhall is owned by Peugeot/Citroen now.

    Maybe GM will sell the brand to them?
