Well the inevitable has finally happened, GM have announced the end of the Holden Brand of cars being made and imported into Australia.
Their basic excuse is that the Right Hand Drive market isn't large enough to sustain another manufacturer to play in that market.
Nothing surprising here after the Government dropped import tariffs and let all the Riff Raff in to sell buckets of bolts for next to nothing which in turn screwed our industry. Also the unions had a huge part in this consistently screwing manufacturers which made their businesses less viable.
It's all history now so we'll look forward to Toyota Prius's running around the race circuits of Australia...........Yeah sure !
No cheers,
BB.
