GM Detroit to Holden "No more Excuses"

[csv8]

"As Holden prepares to close its Elizabeth production plant in Adelaide on October 20, the iconic Australian brand admits it is looking to move on quickly from the emotional moment as parent company General Motors continues to wait for sales to pickup.*
Speaking to media today, GM president, Dan Ammann, said that Holden is now in a position where it needs to move on from its local production past and bring results from a new product strategy: “We are at the point now with the portfolio and with all investment in future technology and so on that there are no more excuses,” he said.
“We are going to get through this important event coming up on the 20th*and that will be significant but done. Now it’s back to business with a forward-looking perspective on the future and it’s time to put up the results.”
But asked if GM would be patient, Ammann said “I think we have to be”.
“With everything that we’re bringing into the market – with OnStar, Maven and everything we’re putting around that – the work the team is doing in repositioning the brand and appealing to new customers that are not traditional to the brand, I recognise that that takes time”, he added."
