The Holden planning needs to be done over the Christmas shutdown when the line is stopped, it's the only time they can do it. They can't delay it until the next shutdown because the engineers need to get into and out of the body line to see what they can do with it all. GM could still announce a plant closure the day after the planning was done if they needed too. |

Whilst I agree the Christmas break planning does not guarantee jack. It does however show that Holden/ GM are serious about trying to continue here in Australia & that any calls of "the decision has already been made & they are gone" are clearly wrong.

Maybe the knobheads that drive them were onto something a long time ago?

It's too late to save the industry now.....fords gone....therefore the whole industry becomes unplausible. Therefore.....all this talk about saving Holden just makes it even more infuriating. Giving them money now...when they can't possibly build commadore anymore, would be a dead set giveaway. |

It was done at PDA and it was for new tech in cars and seeing as FG ain't getting anything new it would be for FH (or whatever they are calling it).

If they do go FWD how are they planning to stay viable, with no V8's which make up a big chunk of sales, and probably no ute or LWB either.
Those 3000 odd sales a month would drop considerably more. Can you imagine your typical Holden loving bogan doing front wheel drive skids in his new FWD Commodore lol. |
