Default Re: Holden to make "important announcement" about its VIC and SA operations

Sad for all involved from the employees on upwards. That the Australian business model for automotive production continued to be predicated on the large car sector (and derivatives) even when that segment was clearly in decline only shows how badly their manufacturing capabilities were locked into that market.

While FoA came from a lower base in production numbers (at least in recent years), the success of the Territory helped mask some of the pain and breathed life into a platform that would otherwise have died some years ago.

Where to from here is the question although I suspect the answer won't be one we will want to hear.

Cheers
Russ
