Is he slipping inside "Pinks" suitcase atm to keep their overheads down ?
I would love to agree with this, but Australians are still obsessed with fuel consumption figures due in part to the media, so probably wouldn't buy enough to be viable. I rented a Kia Sportage over the last weekend and saw fuel consumption figures the same as my V6 VF even though I was pussying the car more than I would my own car. Meh - no guts, less safety, less room and same fuel consumption as a 3.6 V6.GM’s supposed “concern” (yeah right) is about ten years too late.
I hope GM sell the brand to someone here in Oz, and Holden becomes a small niche Oz manufacturer. Start out here then do exports later. Maybe just call it HSV and have V8’s (and maybe a TT six as well). GM can keep all the 4 cylinder s—tboxes nobody wants and badge them as Chevy or Opel. Ok, these niche Holden cars might be $100,000 or more each, but surely if they get it right from the very start, they would still sell enough to make a small profit.
Who knows but - economics isn’t one of my strengths!
