Espilon II is an abomination.
The Holden dealers should shut up shop in 2017, refusing to sell such a disaster.

It won't be EPII. The Commodore will be Omega RWD or nothing at all.

As for your second line - well the final decision hasn't been made yet it's near certain there will be no new Holden's post 2017 - PERIOD. Nomatter where they are made! The dealership network will be re-branded GM (as opposed to the GM secondary logo that appears on most) with various sub brands underneith such as Chevrolet, Opel (again!) and Caddillac (maybe). Chevrolet will carry all the GMDAT Korean stuff we currently see plus the Alpha based Camaro and Silverado trucks. Opel is whatever they are selling at the time with Caddie I'm not sure beyond a plan resurrect the introduction into Aus that was iced during the GFC.

I hear on the ABC news today that our pathetic premier thinks maybe GM can sell the Holden brand to someone else to build the cars. Election in SA this year:idea:

It's not out of the question but I think there is near zero chance it'll happen.

I think it is a separate company altogether, no problems with it continuing to draw from GM's parts bin I presume.

What I mean is what models are they thinking of doing. Looks like most of GM is going front drive, how is this going to affect the image of HSV?
