I bet you, some genius inside GM probably an accountant, has suggested that Holden just import "commodore" from Germany and get 75% of the sales it was getting with VFII and just 86 all local manufacturing....QED
What could possibly go wrong as Holden stood to save a ton of money developing cars no one else wanted...

The plan was done so quickly that Holden couldn't even order a RHD Camaro to supplement Commodore.

Holden and Toyota probably felt unappreciated and unwelcome here after the rhetoric coming
from the ultra right, sure it might have been a doubtful proposition but a lot of the money that
was expended here mostly stayed here...
Yeah, that's not what I asked, are you saying they could have continued making cars in Elizabeth if it was only them and Toyota left?
Yes, or no.
