When Holden was number 2 or 3 in the market, perhaps GM would have seen a viable case for Holden, but they battling to stay in the top 10, I can't see there being new models arrive beyond the current life cycles of what they are selling now. The Commodore and Astra being an expensive buy in's from PSA, these were obvious candidates to drop first.
Whilst it's sad for dealership employment, I have no sympathy for the situation Holden and GM have found themselves in. You reap what you sow and GM's arrogance, poor products and stupid product planning over many decades has lead to where they are now.

There's a Cadillac Australia website under construction.
People questioned the logic of keeping the Holden brand alive when they announced they'd cease production. Some argued that yes they should because the brand name has equity, and it means a great deal to
Korea Australia.
