Interesting article. It is starting to show how much holden are up the creek. With the news that more production for GM will be coming out of China, and the G8 being canned, it sounds like Holden have been told that there really isn't any possibility for large exports.

The last comment was also interesting r.e. no more large projects like the Zeta platform. To me that reads that in the future holden will follow fords current situation and have an "orphan" car, developing off the zeta platform as they see fit while the rest of GM goes their own way. Sounds like they haven't learnt anything at all.

It all comes back to GM losing money at a rapid rate, and the outposts having to fend for themselves while the US struggles to survive.

All in all bad things for holden. It sounds like there will be less major development of the commodore if holden have to come up with more of the development dollars over a smaller number of sales due to lack of export.
