What about the colorado? I have a few mates wth them.

Rubbish car ranger/hilux kills it. We have a few Colorado cars at work being replaced now with rangers so much better.

Pretty sure the Ranger is the class leader by a fair bit. Amarok a special mention though.

If you read the articles the party line from Holden is that "we're not worried we have the strongest product ever 20 new vehicles or whatever" - obviously this is the spokesperson media guy but I truly wonder if there are people that have drunk the coolade and believe that.

When a company says " we're not worried " that means
" whose going to wear the concrete boots "

Really? Must be a huge jump from base model to top model for both the ranger and the colorado. (I drove base ranger, and pretty sure was reasonably high colo. Hate that auto hill braking though - it would take time to get use to)

they'd be expecting this, and GM will be expecting them to turn it around in short order too i'd imagine.

If the cars are good, priced right, with strong after sales service and marketed effectively,

And the odds on them getting 4/4 ?

My partner's folks just went out and bought a new Colorado and Trax (his and hers) and they both love them. My partner has a first gen Trax and she loves it.

I find it hard to believe Holden all of a sudden aren't selling cars... just becoz ya know ZB.

Does the OP have a link to back up what he's "heard".

Low to nil.

A cursory check online has Holden the 4th highest-selling manufacturer in January 2018 and 8th highest-selling manufacturer last month, out of 60 or so other brands, selling between 4700-5700 cars per month. I'm not really sure if that's a lower number than any other month since 1948 but if it is, it really says more about the current automotive market in Australia than anything else.

Even without a VF Commodore, Holden are moving more cars than Kia, Volkswagen, Subaru, MB, Audi and BMW to name a few.
