The current stock levels would probably see them well into next year at the rate they are selling.

The 'funny' thing about dealing with Holden. When a model exceeds the forecast sales, the Holden buyers demand tier 1 suppliers reduce their piece price. But when a model fails to meet the forecast sales, they NEVER offer to pay more because of reduced volumes.

I've been thinking about this and am convinced only reissuing the Kingswood can save them now. With 21st century features like 5 speed column shift and heated front bench seats. I'd buy a wagon.

Or a modern take on the Humpy (FJ) with a powerglide 2-speed hybrid transmission......

Now if we could only get people to look up from their iPhones...

Mini's, Fiat Bambino's Mustangs and remember those awful PT cruisers come to mind.

Or about as close as a FWD Insignia is to a real Commodore.

All car makers cut costs to their cars.
