Next year's rebadging of the Insignia as a Commodore would be a done deal so will still happen ... and if everything to follow is Daewoo like the nasty Malibu then the current or next-year Opel Holdens will be the last of the decent Holdens. Imagine a future full of Captiva & Cruze ...
Yes I'm confident the NG will still happen, but it's very early days yet. I believe it's been stated by PSA that existing contracts until 2020 will be honoured, so it would seem potentially the NG may only have a life of 2 or 3 years, then Holden pickup something Asian based. For Astra, I guess look at the upcoming sedan as an indicator. I'm pretty confident the NG will be quite a good car in its own right, as the Astra looks to be a pretty good thing right now, but if it's condemned to be only sold for 2 or 3 years, I think the numbers that are sold will be less than current predictions. Holden have got some work to do in the marketing department by the time the NG is released. I guess it's likely Opel products will then make another appearance here, but not under the Holden brand.
