Wow. I'm not surprised. Saddened a little bit.
I was only chatting to my 98 year old grandfather yesterday about some of the work he did as a panel beater at the Holden plant in Mosman Park after the war. He'll be a bit saddened today also.
That didn't take long... Lol

Just watching the interview with GM execs on TV - not sure but they seem to indicate that not only will the Holden brand go but GM is also quitting as they say they will no longer make RHD vehicles - they indicate they will still send "speciality" vehicles (like the Corvette) into Australia - produced through their speciality plant in NZ and maybe still through HSV.
So not only does Holden go but it would seem GM in Australia also goes.

Now we just wait for Kogan to pick up the name and start selling new made-in-China "Holdens".
Watching the press conference gives me the impression the "execs" were almost blindsided by the decision. They are scrabbling to answer any questions on future plans with anything other than "the details still have to be worked out" and the only positive statement is "we will continue to honour our contractual commitments and support our product for 'at least' 10 years".
It all seems very rushed.
Funny stuff
Cheers Baz.

Looks like GM is pulling out as well saying they are no longer going to build cars for Australian roads.
This will make the Supercars interesting!
