Real shame, was a privelidge to punt around that place. Have some great memories.

From what I've been told by current employees still at the PG, it seems the current interested parties may keep it as a proving ground.

So those engineering jobs that they touted as staying are gone too ?

Yes mass exit from Australia. Real sad day back in February when it was announce. GM just spent Millions updating Lang Lang including the circular track.

Certainly a mess and extremely sad,but according to some Journo's the writing was on the wall when they re-introduced Opel in 2012(?) and spent Millions on advertising and signing up a Dealer network,they reasoned why would they do that unless Holden was on the chopping board.
The worst decision was the Chev. sponsorship of MU,hundreds of millions down the drain and then they withdrew Chev from the Euro. market.
I can see GM post 2000 being shown as an eg of how not to run a Co. in Business Schools in the years ahead.
